New Milford lies 14 miles (23 km) north of Danbury on the banks of the Housatonic River, and shares its border with the northeastern shore of Candlewood Lake.

New Milford consists of a number of town sub-divisions (i.e. boroughs, districts, communities, or neighborhoods), including Chimney Point, Gaylordsville, Merryall, and Northville. The town's infrastructure largely branches off from either side of the highway routes U.S. 7 and U.S. 202, which intersect and split within the town and together form its main thoroughfare.
The area constituting contemporary New Milford was originally inhabited by the indigenous Wawyachtonoc people, while the town of New Milford itself was formally established by English colonists in the early 18th century.
