Salt Lake County created Millcreek Township in 2002 to give residents more local control and prevent annexations by neighboring cities, a 2012 incorporation vote failed with only 40 percent support, and residents voted for incorporation on November 3, 2015.

Millcreek is organized into four community councils, Canyon Rim, East Mill Creek, Millcreek, and Mount Olympus, roughly corresponding to the former census-designated places.
