[QUOTE="CSD, post: 9515334, member: 26316"] Milltown had several mills back in the day. 1812 Jacob Bergen constructs a grist mill on the banks of Lawrence Brook to serve farmers in the area. This is the origin of a settlement known at the time as Bergen's Mill, that would later become Milltown. The community claims a population of 25, the grist mill, a tavern and several houses. 1843 Christopher Meyer introduces the industrial era to Bergen's Mill with the Meyer Rubber Co. 1845 Fire destroys the rubber factory and Meyer's home, leaving him penniless. John Ford advances Meyer the money to rebuild. It is in this period of time that the name Bergen's Mill begins to be replaced with Milltown, most likely stemming from people saying they are "going to the mill in town."
