As the town name
indicates, Millville was a small mill village
and was home to several manufacturing shops,
including U.S. Rubber Company which was its
largest employer. The crash of 1929 destabilized
not just the U.S. Rubber Company but also the
town itself. The town was put under a municipal
finance board from 1933 until 1944 when the town
regained its right to conduct its own affairs.
The town has evolved into a beautiful rural
small town since then, displaying its many
historic treasures, including the Chestnut Hill
Meeting House and old Locks Cave; the Blackstone
River.
The town recently
opened a brand new elementary school and is a
member of the Blackstone-Millville Regional
School System. Millville is very active in the
Blackstone River Valley National Heritage
Corridor.
