The homestead patent for the Daniels Farm in Milliken was granted on July 10, 1872 to Henry Daniels. His wife Marietta sold chickens, turkeys and eggs and used the proceeds to buy an additional 160 acres in 1898. Henry Daniels was among the men who by hand and with horses dug the Big Thompson and Platte River ditch which is still in operation. Henry's grandson Harold Daniels who is the owner of the farm today, is the current secretary of the ditch company.
