Before the advent of light pollution, the number of stars visible in the night sky was dramatically more than today. In fact, there were so many stars in the sky that it actually looked "milky" and that is where the term originates. Ancient Greeks called it the Milky Way because to them, it looked like a flowing stream of milk splashed across the sky.
