Millville is a city in Cumberland County, in the U.S. state of New Jersey. As of the 2020 United States census, the city's population was 27,491,[11][12] a decrease of 909 (−3.2%) from the 2010 census count of 28,400,[20][21] which in turn reflected an increase of 1,553 (+5.8%) from the 26,847 counted in the 2000 census.[22]

Millville was originally incorporated as a township by an act of the New Jersey Legislature on February 24, 1801, from portions of Fairfield Township. Portions of the township were taken to form Landis Township on March 7, 1864. Millville was reincorporated as a city on March 1, 1866, based on the results of a referendum passed that same day.[23] The city derives its name from a proposal to create a mill town in the area.[24][25]

Millville is part of the South Jersey region of the state and is located within the Vineland-Bridgeton metropolitan statistical area, and it is ultimately part of the larger Delaware Valley or Philadelphia metropolitan area.[26]

History

[edit]

Around 1720, a sawmill was believed to have existed at Leaming's Mill, known as "Shingle Landing" in its earliest days.[27] The area also had a public road, a boat landing, and a bridge-like structure.

In 1790, Joseph Smith and Henry Drinker purchased 24,000 acres (97 km2) of land known as the Union Mills Tract. They formed the Union Estates Company, built lumber mills along the Maurice River and established a dam to power these new mills. Joseph Buck, an American Revolutionary War veteran who served under General George Washington, was part of a group that purchased the land in the area in 1795 and laid out the plans for what would become Millville.[28]

In 1806, an Irish immigrant, James Lee, opened the area's first glass factory, making use of the large amounts of silica sand and the ample wood that could be used to operate the plant.[29]

In the early 1850s, the Smith and Wood Iron Foundry and New Jersey Mills were constructed. In 1860, a bleachery and dye house were added to New Jersey Mills, which then became Millville Manufacturing. David Wood then constructed a dam, forming the largest man-made lake in the state, which powered the entire manufacturing organization. By 1870, the mill had 600 employees, and in 40 years this number doubled.

In 1862, Charles K. Landis laid out the city of Vineland about 2.5 miles (4.0 km) east of the Maurice River. In 1864, Vineland was separated from Millville Township and joined the new Landis Township.[23]

In 1936, the town was the site of Roosevelt Park, a project proposed by Effie Maud Aldrich Morrison as the country's first housing development for the elderly. The retirement colony was built on land which had been repossessed by the town of Millville for back taxes, and became known as the "Roosevelt Colony". It was later renamed to the "Roosevelt Park" old age colony, and was sometimes referred to as the Colony for the Aged at Roosevelt Park and Roosevelt Park Colony for Aged. When it opened on October 23, 1936, it became the first senior citizens retirement colony in the United States.[30]

Millville Airport was dedicated "America's First Defense Airport" on August 2, 1941, by local, state, and federal officials.[31] In less than a year, construction of military base facilities began, and in January 1943, the Millville Army Air Field opened as a gunnery school for fighter pilots. Gunnery training began with Curtiss P-40 Warhawk aircraft, but after a few weeks was changed over to the Republic P-47 Thunderbolt. During its three-year existence, thousands of soldiers and civilians served here, with about 1,500 pilots receiving advanced fighter training in the Thunderbolt.[32]

Following World War II, the airfield was declared excess to the government's needs, and returned to the City of Millville. Most of the airport buildings were converted to apartments for the many veterans returning from the war. The last of the apartments vanished in the early 1970s, and the airport soon became a hub of industry and aviation for Southern New Jersey.[33]

Up to the late 1990s the Millville downtown area was depressed and somewhat isolated, as illustrated by the abandoned Levoy Theatre and Wheaton Glass Factory, 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. Older abandoned buildings have been restored, and continued major development is planned.

Millville has an arts district named the Glasstown Arts District. A public art center with galleries and studios is the hub of activity, and is open six days a week. The district includes seven full-time galleries, along with ten part-time galleries and studios, which are open mostly on weekends and on the third Friday of each month. Wheaton Arts and the Creative Glass Center of America includes a major collection of early American glass with contemporary glass from CGCA Fellows and working glass artists in a restored 19th century glass factory.[34][35] Opened in 1908 and closed in 1974 with declining numbers of customers, the Levoy Theatre re-opened in September 2012.[36]

One of Millville's claims to fame is an original paperweight making technique which originated there. Fine paperweights from the classic period (1845–1870) were made with one of three techniques: millefiori, lampwork or cameo incrustations (sulphides). In the first decade of the twentieth century, crimp flowers, mostly roses, originated in Millville, with several glassworkers making them in their off duty time.[37] These paperweights are commonly called "Millville roses", even when sometimes made elsewhere.[38]

Geography

[edit]

According to the U.S. Census Bureau, the city had a total area of 44.50 square miles (115.25 km2), including 42.00 square miles (108.78 km2) of land and 2.50 square miles (6.47 km2) of water (5.62%).[2][3] Unincorporated communities, localities and place names located partially or completely within the city include Clarks Mill, Farmingdale, Manatico, North Newark and Union Lake.[39]

The city borders the Cumberland County municipalities of Commercial Township, Deerfield Township, Downe Township, Fairfield Township, Lawrence Township, Maurice River Township and Vineland.[40][41]

Millville lies between the southern termini of the New Jersey Turnpike, the Garden State Parkway, Route 55 (which runs through the northeastern portion of the city) and the Atlantic City Expressway.

Government

[edit]

Local government

[edit]

In 1801, Millville was first organized as a township; It became a city in 1866. Until 1913, Millville operated under a Mayor-Council form of government where the mayor was elected by the people. In 1913, a change of form of government to the Walsh Act was passed and the commission form of government became the way the city was run.[65][66] The city is one of 30 municipalities (of the 564) statewide that use the commission form of government.[67] Under this form of government as used in Millville, the governing body is comprised of five commissioners who are elected to four-year concurrent terms of office at-large on a non-partisan basis as part of the November general election. At a reorganization meeting held after each election, each commissioner is assigned a department to oversee and one commissioner is selected from among its members to serve as the mayor and another as vice mayor.[8][68]

In November 2014, Michael Santiago, the city's first Hispanic councilmember, became Millville's first Hispanic mayor.[69]

In January 2022, Lisa Orndorf made history as the first woman to serve as Millville's mayor.[citation needed]

In November 2023, Stephen Watson was elected to fill the seat that had been held by James Quinn, who had elected to serve on the Cumberland County Board of County Commissioners. Watson defeated Robert McQuade, who had finished in sixth-place in the 2021 election and had been appointed to fill the vacant seat that had been held by Quinn.[70]

In March 2024, Mayor Lisa Orndorf resigned from the Millville City Commission for health reasons. Commissioner Benjamin Romanik, who was the runner-up to Orndorff in the 2022 mayoral election, was appointed mayor.

In April 2024, Millville City Commissioners appointed Marissa Ranello to fill the vacant seat.

As of 2024, the Millville City Commission includes: Mayor Benjamin J. Romanik (Commissioner of Public Affairs), Charles Kirk Hewitt (Commissioner of Public Safety), Joseph Sooy (Commissioner of Revenue and Finance) Marissa Ranello (Commissioner of Parks and Public Property) and Stephen E. Watson Jr. (Commissioner of Public Works)[4][71][72][73][74]

As part of a project $137 million project begun in 2019 and funded by the New Jersey Schools Development Authority, Millville Senior High School has undergone a project that will add 82,000 square feet (7,600 m2) of space, which will allow all high school students to attend high school in a single building; when complete, the phased high school expansion project will add 230,000 square feet (21,000 m2) of new space at the high school, as well as extensive renovations to existing facilities in the building. Starting in the 1960s, grades 9–10 have been served in Memorial High School and grades 9–12 at Millville Senior High School.[130]

Facing a deficit of $3 million for the 2017–2018 school year, the district closed R.D. Wood Elementary School in order to generate $1.8 million in savings.[131]

Students are also eligible to attend Cumberland County Technical Education Center in Millville, serving students from the entire county in its full-time technical training programs, which are offered without charge to students who are county residents.[132]

St. Mary Magdalen School was a Catholic school serving children in grades K–8 operating under the auspices of the Roman Catholic Diocese of Camden.[133] The school opened in 1882 with an enrollment of 45 students.[134] Former Camden Bishop Joseph Galante announced in January 2012 that the school would close in June due to poor finances resulting from a declining student body.[135] Bishop Schad School in Vineland and St. Mary Regional School in East Vineland are nearby.[136] Additionally As of 2020 Bishop McHugh Regional School in Dennis Township in Cape May County accepts students from Millville.[137]

Sacred Heart High School was in nearby Vineland until its 2013 closure.[138] St. Joseph High School in Hammonton was the closest Catholic high school.[136] However that school closed in 2020.[139]

There was a previous YMCA campus in Millville which stopped operations in August 1990. In late 1997 Millville Housing Authority purchased the campus. An apartment complex was installed in the former administration building and gymnasium, while a new building was constructed on the site of the former racquetball courts. Millville Housing Authority occupied the second floor; the first floor became a new exercise center.[156] The first floor of the new building and a pre-existing basement is used by the Holly City Development Corp.
