      History:

      The Walker neighbourhood was created in 2004 by the Town of Milton as part of the Boyne Survey which also included the Bowes, Cobban and Ford neighbourhoods. This neighbourhood is named after Philip Walker a United Empire Loyalist. Philip Walker emigrated to Canada from the United States in 1816 and settled in Nelson Township, now Burlington. Walkers Line in Burlington is named after him. It was Walker’s son Peter who actually lived on the land where the Walker neighbourhood is now situated. His descendants continued to farm this in this part of Milton for many generations.
