Millville is a small, unincorporated community located south of Redding in southern Shasta County, near the banks of the Sacramento River. Its history dates back to the mid-1800s when the area developed as an agricultural and milling center, serving the surrounding rural communities.
The town was named for the numerous mills that once operated here, including sawmills and grain mills, which took advantage of the nearby waterways and abundant natural resources. Millville played a modest but important role in supporting local farmers and ranchers through processing and trade.
Today, Millville remains a quiet, rural area known for its agricultural roots and scenic river landscapes. It offers a peaceful setting for residents and easy access to outdoor activities along the Sacramento River.
