"With an endless sky above em / And a restless sea below / And every blessin' flowing from the Gulf of Mexico" - From "Gulf of Mexico" by Steve Earle
Resting at the base of Blackwater Bay, just a short jaunt from the Gulf of Mexico, Milton was originally nicknamed "Scottman's Anchorage" for all the barges that rolled down the river. Its later nickname was "Scratch Ankle," for the itchiness one would get from walking through all the briers and brambles that grew here. Images of timber, ships and railroads detail the storied history of the town. While the residents who live here have one foot in the past, they also have one foot stepping forward, ready to carve out their dreams in the Florida panhandle. View Milton City Guide
