Tucked away off Northwest Florida's beaten path lies the historic, quaint city of Milton, Florida. It is located near the center of this western Florida Panhandle county, adjacent to the Blackwater River. Milton is called the "Canoe Capital of Florida" for the many waterways that flow through the town like Coldwater River, Blackwater River, and Sweetwater River, drawing paddlers, rafters, and tubers from all around Northwest Florida.

Milton is close to everything - dining, shopping, and schools, but still exudes small town charm and character. It is the county seat of Santa Rosa County and the historic downtown boasts river walks and promenades with qazebos and seating areas along the river. Milton, and the surrounding areas, are known for its pleasant overall quality of life and relaxed atmosphere.

Milton is also home to Naval Air Station Whiting Field, which is one of the Navy's two primary pilot training bases. NAS Whiting Field also provides training for U.S. Marine Corps, Coast Guard, and Air Force student pilots, as well as those of several allied nations. Whiting Field is the busiest Naval Air Station in the world, responsible for an estimated 46 percent of the Chief of Naval Air Training Command’s total flight time and more than 11 percent of Navy and Marine Corps total flight time. Greater than 1,200 service personnel complete their essential flight training here yearly.

Manufacturing, service, farming and the military are also major industries of the area. Milton is a vital, progressive city able to maintain the fine balance between small town charm and modern urban life. Due to it's location, Milton is an easy commute for many career opportunities in Pace, Pensacola, Navarre, and other surrounding areas.
