Milo was first settled by Benjamin Sargent and his son, Theophilus. They came to the area from Methuen, MA in 1802. The Town of Milo was named after a famous athlete from Ancient Greece, Milo of Croton and incorporated January 21, 1823.
The Town of Milo is located at the Junction of the Sebec River and the Piscataquis River. The Pleasant River also runs through Milo, which is why Milo is known as the Town of Three Rivers. The total area of Milo is 33.96 square miles with .98 of it being water.
