Fact text

  • Starting in 1902, Quaker Oats boxes came with a coupon redeemable for a tiny legal deed to a real lot in Milford, sometimes just 10 by 10 feet.
  • Milford is home to the Subway restaurant chain's parent company, Doctor's Associates, Inc., so yes, 'eat fresh' is basically a local motto.
  • A company called SCELBI Computer Consulting, operating on Milford's Boston Post Road in the 1970s, is credited by many as the world's first personal-computer manufacturer.
  • Milford has hosted its Oyster Festival every single year since 1975, rain or shine, the oysters show up.
  • Quaker Oats pulled the same land-giveaway trick twice: Milford lots in 1902 and actual Klondike territory in 1955, tucked inside cereal boxes.
