What is Lake Milton?
Lake Milton is a "census-designated place." This means it's a community that people live in, but it's not officially a city or town with its own government. It sits on the edge of the large Lake Milton reservoir. This area is in the northwestern part of Mahoning County. It is also part of the bigger Mahoning Valley region.
History of Lake Milton
The community of Lake Milton got its name from the nearby lake. A post office opened here in 1942. The lake itself is a reservoir, which is a large artificial lake used to store water. It was created by building a dam in 1913. This dam was built after a big flood on the Mahoning River that same year. The dam helped control the river and created the lake we see today.
