History
The first settler to the area was John Marvin, who arrived in the spring of 1831 and settled the community under the name "Tolanville", after his son-in-law Henry Tolan. Later, a part of downtown Milan would be named Tolan Square. He built his home and also operated a general store for travelers and other early residents. Other earlier settlers included Bethuel Hack and Harmon Allen, and their families became the area's first permanent residents. The population began to grow, and the first post office was established on March 27, 1833, under the name "Farmersville". The name was changed to Milan on April 21, 1836. The post office has remained in operation ever since and is presently located at 123 East Main Street. The community became part of York Township when it was organized in 1833 in Washtenaw County and Milan Township when it was organized in 1836 in the northwest corner of Monroe County. Other nearby communities included Azalia (East Milan), Cone (West Milan), and Mooreville.
