History

The locality takes its name from a local farm, which in turn was named by a selector Andrew Mahaffey circa 1877.

A Primitive Methodist church opened in Milford on Tuesday 10 December 1889. After the amalgamation of the Methodist Church of Australasia into the Uniting Church in Australia in 1977, it became Milford Uniting Church. It was sold in 2000 and was used a weekender before becoming a bed-and-breakfast in 2007. It is at 438 Milford Road (28°01′34″S 152°42′40″E / 28.0260°S 152.7112°E / -28.0260; 152.7112 (Milford Methodist/Uniting Church (former))).

Milford Provisional School opened on 12 April 1886. On 6 July 1900, it was officially opened by Mr J Haygarth of Boonah as the new Milford State School. It closed on 14 December 1984.
