| HISTORY |
"Mill Creek is one of the original townships of the county [established c. 1800]. It received its name from the stream, which became known as Mill Creek before the county was organized. The length of the east line is four and three-quarter miles; of the south line, ten and a half, and of the west line four and a quarter. The greater length of the north or lake line is due to a 400-acre tract at the mouth of Four Mile Creek, which it was thought desirable to make a portion of Mill Creek rather than Harbor Creek, to which it naturally belongs. The township numbered 29,630 acres. From the bay southward, the city extends nearly to the center of the township. In 1820, Mill Creek contained a population of 1,017; in 1830, of 1,783; in 1840, of 2,682; in 1850, of 3,064; in 1870, of 2,774; and in 1880, of 3,274." - Samuel P. Bates, History of Erie County, Pennsylvania (1884). |
