Founded in the late 1800s, Milltown has grown from a Michelin Tire Company town to a borough of over 7,000 people, many of whom are descendants of Milltown’s found families.  Based on the 2000 census, Milltown has been declared the “center of population of the State of New Jersey.”
 

In this busy, congested area of New Jersey, Milltown is unique.  Although we are located between two major highways, we are able to maintain the small town atmosphere that is part of its charm.  We are also unique in that we have our own electric and water companies which contribute to our tax ratables and enable us to give personalized and prompt service.

Although we have no high school, we have an outstanding K-8 school system and we are fortunate to be under contract with Spotswood, enabling us to send our students to that blue ribbon high school.
 

Because of our small size of 1.6 square miles, our growth is limited.   We are almost fully developed.  We are excited, however, about plans to redevelop the old Michelin Tire Company site, located in the heart of the town.  A Redevelopment Agency has been created dedicated to provide the best possible uses for the property – uses that will enhance the area and provide ratables.

Our clean, safe, small town atmosphere, coupled with outstanding borough services, diversified recreation programs, numerous senior citizen activities and active businesses, makes Milltown a desirable place in which to live.  If you have any questions or any suggestions, don’t hesitate to contact me and if you are in the Municipal Building, stop in and say hello.
