*Millville - 1814 (92:114)
Presumably for a mill once loc. here; the former name of Brookville.

Zinkin, Vivian. Place Names of Ocean County, New Jersey, 1609–1849. Toms River, NJ: Ocean County Historical Society, 1976, 126

Well, I suppose I could have surmised that without taking this book off the shelf.

The reference to source #92 is to Iron in the Pines, which is in turn quoting the Martha Furnace diary, which mentions Millville in passing a few times.

Very well done, yes.

Haha, your other post actually made me think of that and wonder if Bridgeton also had a twin!

I found it while looking for a historical Bridgeton in this latitude.
