The Post Office opened as THE SETTLEMENT on 1 January 1860. It was renamed MILTON almost immediately, to distinguish it from Ulladulla, as proposed by Post Master George Knight in his letter to the PMG of 20 December 1859. This was the name of his own adjoining farm, but legend had it that John Booth chose the name himself for the private township he established at The Settlement on 40 acres of Joseph Whatman's Myrtle Forest Farm, purchased by him for development. Surveying work was done by H.G. Morton, and a newspaper report of 1924 states that he suggested the name to Booth.
