The white-columned First United Church of Christ with clocktower and towering steeple dates to 1824 and overlooks a lagoon in this picturesque New England scene in the heart of the historic Milford, Connecticut, USA. Now identifying itself as "A Little City with a Big Heart," it was founded in 1639 as an English colony called Wepowage, the Indian name for the river that flowed through the settlement. A year later it was renamed Milford in reference to a gristmill established there.
