Hi all (good thing these questions are free!). Milton We__, I imagine is Milton West, though not listed in the LAC archives. Can anyone provide PO info? #41, AU 29 96, CDS, perf 12.1, horiz weave. Thanks - Chris
Nobbled, advert for mail licence, just out of scan 1901 Milton Paper. (aside D Gibbons just took possession of pneumatic tyred carriage, first in town!)
From what I can find, Milton West is somewhat confusing.
According to Smith (Ontario Post Offices), the Post Office in Milton was opened 6 April 1836. At some point it became Milton West and on 23 March 1962 it changed back to Milton.
The earliest Milton West hammer dates from 1870. But there were Milton hammers issued in 1878 and 1880.
On 1 December 1945 there was only a Milton West post office.
When did it change? I don't think it is known for sure.
MILTON WEST, Trafalgar Township, Halton County. Office established at Martin's Mills on April 6, 1836. First Postmaster George Brown. Name officially changed to MILTON on March 23, 1962.
