BRIEF HISTORY
In March of 1857, Millburn Township was formed by the New Jersey Legislature. Millburn’s name evolved from an acknowledgement of the local mill that was built on a stream. “Burn" is actually the Scottish name for “stream”.
Although there is an absence of records, it seemed that during the post Civil War period, Millburn had a population of slightly more than 1500. There were very few stores that provided commercially-prepared goods during this time. Livelihood came predominantly from little mills and small farms. Trains were available to New York and Newark and this was great excitement for the townspeople. Resources for water were only a short distance via ponds and streams. Fishing, boating, and swimming were there to partake in. By 1870, Millburn began to emerge more as a small manufacturing town. Due it’s great accessibility to cities, resources and business, Millburn began to grow as a development.

Financing Your Home >Financially Qualified
Most purchase agreements allow buyers to get out of the contract if they can't qualify for a mortgage. If you are selling your home, be sure to get some reassurances before you make a commitment to buyers. Most contracts now require timely loan applications and pre-qualifying letters from the lender.
There is no way to be absolutely certain that buyers will be able to obtain financing. Real estate professionals will help buyers determine what they can afford and whether there are financing alternatives. They will also eliminate buyers who are not financially qualified. Training and experience enable them to resolve difficulties quickly to avoid wasting time.
