History

With the discovery of the mass amounts of silica sand, which was among the finest in the world, combined with the great number of trees to fuel the necessary fires, the glass-making industry thrived in this area. In 1862, Charles K. With his new factory, the settlement finally began to grow and more mills and glass factories began to sprout up. Up to the late 1990s the Millville downtown area was depressed and somewhat isolated with investors reluctant to venture in its development. Major redevelopment has occurred in the past several years; establishing the scenic Riverfront and Downtown areas into an artists' haven including many studios, shops and restaurants.
