Emergency Biohazard Cleanup Services in Millington, NJ

Millington is an unincorporated community and census-designated place (CDP) within Long Hill Township in Morris County, New Jersey — it is a village, not an independent municipality.

Millington was a major settlement begun in the 1730s, and it is believed to have received its name between 1778 and 1833 because of the many mills built along the Passaic River there.

The 2020 United States census counted 3,038 people in the Millington CDP.

Millington sits in the southernmost part of Morris County, bordered to the west by the Passaic River, which forms the Somerset County line, and to the east by the Stirling section of Long Hill Township.
