Milton (2005 population 56,000) is a town in southern Ontario, Canada, about 40 km west of Toronto on Highway 401, and is the western terminus for GO Transit's Milton Line commuter train and bus corridor.

Milton is part of the Greater Toronto Area and is the seat of Halton Region, and is on the edge of the Niagara Escarpment, a UNESCO world biosphere reserve and the Bruce Trail.

The town took root out of a settlement by Jasper Martin, along the Sixteen Mile Creek, who immigrated from Newcastle, England with his wife Sarah and two sons on May 17th, 1818. Martin was granted 100 acres (405,000 m²) of land, from the Crown in 1820, designated Lot 14, Concession 2, Township of Trafalgar, Halton County, in the District of Gore. Martin later built a grist mill along the creek and created a pond, known as Mill Pond, to power his mill. The mill became the centre of settlement for others as they settled in the region. In 1837 the area had a population of approximately 100 people and was named Mill Town. The town, as it is today, soon after became known as Milton, although not because of the homonymic similarity to Mill Town. The Martin family were instead paying tribute to author John Milton. The two principal property owners of the young town were the Martins and the Fosters. The current site of Milton's town hall was donated from Hugh Foster.

Milton was incorporated into a town in 1857, after being chosen as county seat for Halton. In 1974, the present municipal structure was created when the Regional Municipality of Halton, replaced Halton County.

The new town of Milton added parts of the former township of Esquesing (most of this township comprises Halton Hills), all of Nassagaweya Township including the village of Campbellville, and the northern sections of Trafalgar and Nelson from (a 1962 annexation of the former townships) Oakville and Burlington respectively.

With the addition of the Niagara Escarpment lands, tourism, recreation, and hertiage conservation have increased in importance. The Halton Region Museum which has a large number of historic agricultural buildings and the Halton County Radial Railway museum are located in Milton. Five large parks operated by Conservation Halton reside in the city and Mohawk Raceway is located near Campbellville.
