Milliken
Milliken Colorado Real Estate and Milliken CO Homes
Established in 1907, Milliken Colorado is located approximately 4.2 miles to the east of Johnstown. The town was named after a pioneer lawyer, Judge John Milliken, who helped establish the Denver, Laramie, and Northwestern Railroad (DL&N). With the growth of the sugar beef industry and its transport, Milliken was a hub of commerce in northern Colorado.
Milliken suffered disastrous fires near the turn of the century, one of which destroyed three businesses in the town. Also, a decline in railroad transportation hurt the small community's economy. Recently, though, the future is looking much brighter for Milliken!
