The mill burn, Stewart Hartshorn and the Paper Mill Playhouse.
Millburn takes its name from the burn, a Scots word for stream, that powered its mills; Samuel Campbell opened the first paper mill in 1790. The Battle of Springfield was fought nearby in 1780, and the township was formed in 1857.
Stewart Hartshorn founded Short Hills on 1,550 acres, laid out as a planned commuter village. The Paper Mill Playhouse opened in 1938 and is the State Theatre of New Jersey; The Mall at Short Hills is one of the region’s best known.
In 2018 Millburn had the highest average property tax bill in New Jersey. Millburn and Short Hills stations offer direct trains to Penn Station, and South Mountain Reservation runs along the town.
