Millington, Tennessee
Millwood, by the plank road leading to Memphis, and Glencoe, often flooded in
the Big Creek area, merged to form Millington around 1875. To stay near the
railroad, Glencoe accepted George Millington's land donation if the town be
named after him. Incorporated in 1903 with W.E. Polk as the 1st mayor. The
school was the first accredited in the county. National searches chose the
town as the site for WWI aviation training school at Park Field; world's
largest inland Naval Base; and the 1st USA baseball training site in 1985.
Declared the state's “Flag City” in 1986.
