Discover Milligan

Milligan, in central Okaloosa County, was known in its early railroad days as Chaffin. The community was already on the map by 1840, when it was known for a turpentine still. When the Pensacola and Atlantic Railroad built east across the Panhandle in the early 1880s, Chaffin was one of the first stops after Milton and Holt.

More about Milligan

The railroad brought steady growth. The 1886 Florida State Gazetteer listed two hotels, Baptist and Methodist churches, daily mail and a water-powered gristmill, and by 1889 Elliott's Florida Encyclopedia counted about 200 residents, several steam-powered sawmills, two doctors, a dentist, four stores and a grammar school. When Okaloosa County was formed in 1915, Milligan was chosen as its interim county seat. It held that role until 1917, the year the Yellow River flooded and voters made Crestview the permanent seat. Today Milligan is a small unincorporated community. Sources Crestview News Bulletin: Timber, turpentine, farms and railroads led to communities' establishment (citing the Florida State Gazetteer and Elliott's Florida Encyclopedia) Crestview News Bulletin: Centennial: Crestview started small but outgrew its neighbors Wikipedia: Milligan, Florida
