History

In 1806, an Ireland immigrant named James Lee entered the area and opened a glass factory that really began to contribute to the expansion of the area. With this new business, David Wood constructed the aforementioned dam, forming the largest man-made lake in the state. In 1776, Joseph Smith and Henry Drinker purchased 24,000 acres (97 km²) of land known as the Union Mills Tract. With the expanding industry in Millville, immigrants entered the area in large numbers. From this time until the late 1700s, only a few residents lived in this area.
