Miloma was originally called Prairie Junction, and under the latter name was founded in about 1879 when the railroad was extended to that point.[3] The present name of the community is a double contraction, Milwaukee and Omaha, from the names of two railroads, the Chicago, Milwaukee & Saint Paul and the Chicago, Minneapolis & Omaha.[4][5] A post office was established under the name Prairie Junction in 1881, the name was changed to Miloma in 1906, and the post office closed in 1930.[6]
