This article has been tagged since March 2007. | Milton is an ethnically diverse community located between the Neponset River and the Blue Hills. It is bordered by Boston to the north, Quincy to the south and east, Canton and Dedham to the west. It is located near Boston Harbor, to which it has water access through the Neponset Estuary. Although the first English traders used Milton in the 1620s, the earliest permanent settlement occurred in 1634* when colonists created an agricultural community growing barley, rye and Indian corn. Milton was once part of Dorchester, and was referred to as "Unquity", the term used by the Neponset Tribe of the Massachusetts Indians as meaning "Lower Falls" which was translated into the Lower Mills after the establishment of the Stoughton Grist Mill in 1634. In 1662, "that part of the Town of Dorchester which is situated on the south side of the Naponsett River commonly called 'Unquatiquisset' was established as an independent town and named Milton in honor of Milton Abbey, Dorset, England."[1] The Neponset River is a river in eastern Massachusetts. ...

A powder mill established in 1674 is thought to be the earliest in the colonies, taking advantage of the town's valuable water power sites. Boston investors, seeing the potential of the town and its proximity to the city, provided the capital to develop 18th century Milton as an important industrial site with an iron slitting mill, paper and sawmills, and the first chocolate factory in New England (the Walter Baker Chocolate Factory) in 1764, which was converted from the old Stoughton Grist Mill. Laying of streetcar lines fueled the rapid expansion of residential development. Between 1870 and 1915, Milton grew into essentially the community it is now, a streetcar suburb with only some chocolates, biscuits and market produce to remind residents of the past. By 1929, many of the big estates were broken up into subdivisions, continuing the town's residential growth. Milton still retains many elegant 19th century country houses and estates as well as 19th century workers' housing. Hydropower (or waterpower) harnesses the energy of moving or falling water. ...

 The frog switch of the Granite Railway that was displayed at the Chicago World's Fair in 1893. It is now on view in East Milton Square. East Milton Square developed as a direct result of the Granite Railway. Four sheds there were used to "dress" the granite stone prior to it being brought by rail to the wharf for transfer to boats. East Milton Square was originally termed the "Railway Village" and a train station was located there after 1871 when the Granite Railway became a passenger line of the Old Colony Railroad. The Blue Bell Tavern, which was also a hotel, served as the headquarters of the Granite Railway and it was later named the Russell House. It was located on the site of the current United States Post Office in East Milton Square.

In 1801 Josiah Bent began a baking operation in Milton, selling "water crackers" or biscuits made of flour and water that would not deteriorate during long sea voyages from the port of Boston. The crackling sound occurred during baking, hence the name. This is where the American term "cracker" originated. His company later sold the original hardtack crackers used by troops during the American Civil War. The company, Bent's Cookie Factory, is still located in Milton and continues to sell these items to Civil War reenactors and others. See the external link.

The image was first noticed by a doctor at the hospital, and first reported in the local press on June 12. By June 17, the hospital asked people viewing the image to limit visits to the hours from 5:30 to 8:30 p.m. and asked the Archdiocese of Boston to "to caution people against placing faith in the image." The Archdiocese declined to comment. On June 20 the hospital began covering the window with a tarp during business hours, but discontinued the practice in response to public wishes.
