History

The name Millwood was coined by local farmer, Tom Twidale, by combining Mill from Millmerran and wood from Inglewood as the locality lay between those two towns.[2]

Millwood Provisional School opened on 23 October 1944. In January 1960 it became Millwood State School. It closed on 25 June 1965.[3]

In the 2016 census Millwood had a population of 23 people.[1]
