AFTON Township, first settled in 1837, organized in May 1858, has a city in section 22, on the shore of Lake St. Croix, platted in May 1855 and incorporated as a city in 1971, named by C. S. Getchell, "from Burns' poem, 'Afton Water,' which gives a fine description of the 'neighboring hills, and the clear winding rills'" (History of Washington County and the St. Croix Valley, p. 402). The post office began as Milton Mills in 1854, named for the first flour mill in the county and the first privately owned mill north of Prairie du Chien, built in 1853 by Lemuel Bolles, the first postmaster; the name was changed to Afton in 1857; it had a station of the Chicago, Milwaukee, St. Paul and Pacific Railroad.
