Millburn, Township in Essex County, New Jersey, US.
Millburn is a township in Essex County, New Jersey, combining residential neighborhoods with commercial areas throughout its boundaries. The West Branch of the Rahway River runs through the region and helps define its geography.
The New Jersey Legislature created Millburn Township in 1857 by separating it from Springfield Township to form its own municipality. This establishment allowed the growing community to manage its own affairs and development as an independent township.
The Paper Mill Playhouse sits along the West Branch of the Rahway River and draws visitors for theater and arts performances year-round. This venue has become a gathering place where the community shares stories and celebrates creative expression together.
New Jersey Transit train stations provide direct connections to Manhattan, making daily commuting convenient for residents and visitors. The township is easily accessible by public transportation and offers straightforward routes for getting around the area.
The name Millburn comes from the Scottish word 'burn' for stream, referencing the waterway that powered mills during early settlement. This connection to water and mill operations shaped how the original community grew and functioned.
