Woodmont is a borough of the city of Milford, in New Haven County, Connecticut. The population was 1,486 at the 2020 census. [2] It was first created by Special Act of Connecticut General Assembly in 1893 as the Woodmont Improvement Association. [3] In 1903 it became the Woodmont Association.

The government of the borough works closely with the city of Milford to provide services such as road maintenance, snow plowing, street lighting, beach maintenance, and supplemental police service. There is an extra yearly tax assessment, beyond what is owed to the city of Milford, for borough residents to pay for services in excess of what the city of Milford provides to the rest of Milford.
