The following data show the Population & Steets in Mill Community, Pennsylvania. The population was spread out, with 21.9% of the total population under the age of eighteen living in the village. The median age of the village's population was forty-two years. Twenty-one percent of the village's population was 65 years old or older. The median household size was two people, and the population density was 0.8 residents per square mile.
The village was named after textile factories and began as a wilderness south of the Mohawk River. After the founding of the first textile mill in 1808, the community quickly grew, drawing immigrants from across the world. During the antebellum period, the village was a hotbed of abolitionism and sent high numbers of its residents to war. This continued until the mid-20th century, when the mills closed, and the village developed into a stable suburban community.
The population and steets of the area continue to increase due to the growth of various industrial and service businesses, as well as residential growth. While the city imports more employment than it exports, it still relies heavily on these industries to sustain its growth. There are several factors that need to be considered when attracting retail and other business. However, the overall economic and social benefits of the community will outweigh any negative effects.
The city was chartered on Christmas Eve, 1886, with less than 200 people living in the city limits. Today, the population is over seven thousand. It grew around the textile industry, with the Woodside Mill opening in 1897. The mill was the primary employer of the community for the first decade of the 20th century. In fact, the city's population was up 134 percent between 1890 and 1900.
