According to the [[Tacoma Public Library]]'s Washington Place Names database: "In 1900, it was chosen as a station by the Spokane-Coeur d'Alene Electric Railway, and was named Woodard's for the family who owned the land along the railway route. When Inland Empire Paper Company built a paper mill they requested a name change to Milltown. Railway officials refused the change unless the Woodard family agreed. A compromise resulted, using the word mill combined with the first four letters of Woodard. It was incorporated October 27, 1927."<ref>[https://web.archive.org/web/20080523161558/http://search.tacomapubliclibrary.org/wanames/ Washington Place Names]</ref>
