Millington is located along U.S. Highway 51, with easy access to Interstates 40, 240, and 55, in northern Shelby County, 25 miles from Memphis. Around 1878, a north Shelby County plantation owner offered to donate land for a town and to help build a railroad station on the newly established Chesapeake and Ohio Railroad line, which crossed his 5,000-acre tract of land. Part of his land was elevated and would offer higher ground for their homes, and settlers accepted his offer and agreed to name the town after the donors, Mr. and Mrs. George Millington. The communities of Millwood and Glencoe combined to from the newly established town of Millington.
