Description
Millington is a city in Shelby County, Tennessee and was granted the tittle “Flag city Tennessee” by the State Legislature. It had a population of 10,176 at the 2010 census. The city is located in the Memphis Metropolitan Area, about 9 miles north of Memphis.
In 1878, Mr. and Mrs. George Millington, donated a large area of land to a group of settlers for the purpose of starting a town. Mr. Millington requested that the new town be named in his honor. In 1888 the First Baptist Church was founded. In 1890, the first industry came to town, but the source does not say what it was. It does say that since that time job growth has been sporadic and unfocused. Millington was officially chartered by the State of Tennessee in 1903.
