Milan NY History
Milan includes western part of the Little Nine Partners Patent of 1706. The area that comprises Milan today was the western part of the Little Nine Partners Patent of 1706. Milan was largely a farming and mill town and remains very rural town today. The first settler in the area was Johannes Rowe. The son of a Palatine immigrant, Rowe bought 911 acres (3.69 km2) from Robert Livingston, 3rd Lord of the Manor of Livingston, and built a stone house in 1766 on what is now Rowe Road near the Milan Town Hall. The remains of the house were photographed in 1940 for the Historic American Buildings Survey. The New York State Legislature voted on March 6, 1818 to create the town of Milan from the western part of the Town of North East. The main thoroughfares for the community ran from the Hudson River to Salisbury, CT, which was known as the Salisbury Turnpike.
In addition to farming and local mills, Milan was “in-between” the mining towns towards the east and the Hudson River and as a result had a great deal of important commercial. It was the opening of the Erie Canal (1825) and then the development of the railroad that led to its population growth, peaking in 1840 at 1,745 residents.

The move to river cities and the western migration caused the population to decline until 1930 at 622 residents. Then following the 1930s and the Great Depression the population grew again, due in part to the construction of the Taconic Parkway which ended in Milan at the time, and then the post World War II boom. Today Milan is a rural town with a considerable number of part-time residents who maintain second homes. It has considerable recreational resources and has resisted large scale residential developments and mining.
The New York State Department of Environmental Conservation owns, manages and maintains two Multiple Use Areas in Milan. Both are east of the Taconic State Parkway. The Lafayetteville Multiple Use Area comprises 769 acres with an entrance on Route 199 between the Taconic State Parkway and New York State Route 82. The Roeliff Jansen Kill Multiple Use Area is 125 acres and is accessed from a pull-off on the east side of the Taconic State Parkway near the Roeliff Jansen Kill.
Dutchess County owns, manages and maintains the 615 acres (2.49 km2) Wilcox Memorial Park on Route 199—3.4 miles east of Taconic State Parkway.
In 2002 the Durst Organization bought 2,300 acres that straddles the towns of Milan and Pine Plains with plans to create a second home and recreational community. The original proposal included almost 1,000 homes along with golf courses. Durst’s January 2010 revised plans would allow for 624 homes. That project has struggled with local opposition and a weak residential home market.
