Around 1905, the Waldeck Company attempted - ultimately unsuccessfully - to grow first tobacco and then licorice in the area. The railroad was routed through Milmay around 1894 and a post office established in 1897.
Along with East Vineland, Milmay was settled from the 1870's into the 1890's, first by Italian and then by Polish immigrants attracted to the region by Vineland's founder and developer, C.K. Cedar Logging took place in this area as soon as 1758. Part of Milmay - a settlement midway between Millville and Mays Landing - lies within Maurice River Township along the upper Manumuskin. Today Maurice River Township encompasses 94.7 square miles and includes the villages of Delmont, Heislerville, Leesburg, Dorchester, Bricksboro, Port Elizabeth, Cumberland and a portion of Milmay. The Township of Maurice River was incorporated as township on Februunder the State of New Jersey Township Law of 1798.
