Millville Community History
Millville had a sawmill, a shipyard, and several stores. In the winter of 1885–1886, several families organized a Sunday school. They built a small schoolhouse and the newly formed Watson’s Bayou Literary Society met. By 1910, it was the largest community around the bay and the center of commerce and industry for the area.
In 1913, leaders incorporated the town and voters elected W.I. Singletary their first mayor. The future was bright. By 1918, 2,000 residents lived in the town with hotels, a theater, 31 business establishments, and several churches. Millville was still the largest town on St. Andrews Bay, but just to the west was the growing town of Panama City.
In 1926, Millville was annexed into the incorporated limits of Panama City. To read more about our wonderful community, you may purchase "Images of America, Millville" by Ann Pratt Houpt at your local book store or Amazon.com
