Millville sits on the Blackstone River at the Rhode Island line, close enough to Woonsocket that a Hall of Fame catcher who was born there grew up here. This map prints Main Street, Central Street, Ironstone Street, Thayer Street, Harkness Road and Chestnut Hill Road, with Pratt Pond, Mansfield Pond, Chestnut Hill and the Chestnut Hill Meeting House.

Millville is in Worcester County.
KNOWOL made this map in 2026 from public survey data and gave it the look of a small-town page from an old atlas. United States Geological Survey elevation data shapes the hills, and the Census Bureau supplied the streets and the town line. Millville covers just 5.0 square miles, bordered by Blackstone, Mendon, Uxbridge and North Smithfield, Rhode Island, and it had 3,174 people at the 2020 census. The Blackstone River flows through on its way from Worcester to Providence.
From Mendon to Blackstone to Millville
The Nipmuc people lived here before Europeans came. The Town of Millville’s recorded history, in the Secretary of the Commonwealth’s list, dates European settlement to 1662. For centuries Millville belonged to larger towns: first Mendon, then Blackstone, which had itself been carved out of Mendon. Millville was incorporated as a town in 1916, when it divided from Blackstone, and its public library, off Route 122, followed in 1919. The two towns still share a school system. The town remains part of Worcester County today.
The Chestnut Hill Meetinghouse, also called the South Parish Meeting House, stands at the corner of Chestnut and Thayer streets. Built in 1769, it’s a plain two-and-a-half-story frame building whose only fancy touch is the pilasters and pediment around its doors, and inside the meeting room still holds 26 box pews. South Parish met there into the 1800s, and it’s one of a small number of surviving 18th-century meetinghouses with the main door on the long side. It joined the National Register in 1984. Millville also has a historic Friends Meetinghouse and, as part of the Blackstone River Valley National Heritage Corridor, a well-preserved lock from the Blackstone Canal, which linked Worcester and Providence; work on it began in 1825, and it opened three years later.
A Millville catcher
Gabby Hartnett was born in Woonsocket, the eldest of 14 children, and his father moved the family just over the state line to Millville when he took a job at Banigan’s Millville Rubber Shop. Hartnett grew up here and played youth baseball in the Blackstone Valley League before joining the Chicago Cubs in 1922. In 1938 his walk-off home run at Wrigley Field, hit as darkness fell, put the Cubs in first place and became known as the “Homer in the Gloamin’.” When he retired he held the career records for catchers in home runs, runs batted in, hits and doubles, and he was elected to the Baseball Hall of Fame in 1955.
