In the mid-1800s, a Mormon supply station was located near Millburne.[3] In 1914, prominent educator James W. Fisher moved to Millburne and taught school there.[4] In the 1930 Census, the population of the Millburne district was 149. It rose to 160 by the 1940 census.[5]

Geography

The community is located just northeast of the northeastern edge of Nebraska Flat[2] at the west end of Wyoming Highway 411, which heads east for about 4 miles (6.4 km) to end at the town of Mountain View. The roadway continues south from Millburne as Uinta County Road 260.[6] The Blacks Fork river flows through Millburn, and its waters are of the calcium bicarbonate type, with good quality.[7] The Blacks Fork River Lodge is located in Millburne.[8] The Millburne Cemetery is located along Uinta County Road 217, about one mile (1.6 km) north of the main part of the community.[9]
