Millington is a village in Tuscola County, Michigan with an economy based on the manufacturing and agriculture industries. It is also widely seen as a bedroom community for Flint and Saginaw. It was first settled in 1850 and grew slowly until being platted in 1860 and named Lanesville (it had been locally known as Podunk until then). People began referring to it as Millington around 1866 (after the nearby Millington Creek), and it was officially platted and renamed Millington in 1872; it was incorporated as a village in 1877. The community celebrated its 150th anniversary in 2004 under the theme “Where the Past and Present Meet.”
