Millville is a city in Cumberland County, New Jersey, nicknamed the "Holly City of America".

Millville was settled around 1720, was originally incorporated as a township on February 24, 1801, from portions of Fairfield Township, and was reincorporated as a city on March 1, 1866.

The city derives its name from a proposal to create a mill town along the Maurice River, and the first bridge across the Maurice River at Millville was built in 1754.

The 2020 census counted 27,491 residents in Millville, down 3.2% from its peak of 28,400 in 2010, and Census QuickFacts reports an average of 2.30 persons per household in the city for 2020–2024.

In 1790 the Union Company purchased some 14,563 acres around Millville, established mills and built a dam that created Union Lake, and Colonel Joseph Buck purchased the Union Company mill in 1795.

Millville's first manufacturing facility was a glass factory built by James Lee in 1806, and spurred by glassmaking the city's population grew from about 150 people in 1822 to 7,200 by 1880.

In 1888 Dr. Theodore Wheaton established a glass factory in Millville producing scientific glassware, and his Wheaton Industries grew to become the largest family-owned glass container manufacturing company in the United States.

Millville's glass heritage is preserved at Wheaton Arts and Cultural Center, home to the Museum of American Glass, working artist studios and the world's largest hand-blown glass bottle.

The city's historic downtown is anchored by the Glasstown Arts District, a hub of galleries, studios, shops and restaurants celebrating Millville's glassmaking past.

The Levoy Theatre, a vaudeville house and movie palace on North High Street that first opened in 1908 and closed in 1974, reopened in September 2012 after a major restoration.
