Millbourne /ˈmɪlbərn/ is a self-governing municipal borough in Delaware County, Pennsylvania, United States. As of the 2020 census, the population is 1,212.[4] Millbourne borders Philadelphia along Cobbs Creek. Millbourne was the former site of Millbourne Mills, which it is named after.[5] The name "Millbourne" comes from the word Mill and "bourne" meaning creek.[6] Millbourne, at over 17,000 people per square mile, is the most densely populated incorporated place in Pennsylvania, and 24th in the entire United States.[7][8] Millbourne is a former financially distressed municipality.[9]

History

Bird's-eye view of Millbourne Mills.[10]

Millbourne Mills

Millbourne Borough was first occupied by Samuel Sellers. The land was used for living and farming for over half a century. His grandson, John Sellers, purchased plots of land in the borough.

Before Sellers' death in 1804, he devised his estates to his sons, Nathan, David, John, and George. Sellers devised a plan of grist and saw-mills to his son John, Jr. These mills were built before 1749.

The mills were owned by the elder Sellers and were operated by James Steel. James continued to operate the mill until 1805 when his son, Thomas Steel, took over.

Thomas Steel purchased the Darby Mill in 1814. In that year, Sellers erected an old part of the now Millbourne Mill. John Jr., after learning the trade of a miller with Thomas Steel, took charge of the new mill.

A stream which empties into the Millbourne dam supplying the water to Millbourne Mills, in 1800, was an oil-mill, which continued until 1848. The old gristmill stood above the present mill. In 1820, it was used for grinding gypsum. As late as 1830, Augustus C. Jones was operating the old mill in grinding logwood, spices, etc. It was later discontinued. The new mill, built in 1814, was placed under the charge of John Sellers, Jr., and was fitted with all the improved machinery of that time.[11]

Residential homes in the 1920s alongside Market Street.[12]

Early 1900s

Between 1906 and 1908 Samuel Shoemaker and John L. Fry saw the possibility of a community in Millbourne. Around 100 residential homes were later built.

In 1907 the Market Street “L” was completed for transportation and on July 1, 1908, the Millbourne Station was officially opened.

On September 21, 1909, Millbourne Fire House was completed. The Millbourne Police Department was also established within the same time period.

On October 12, 1909, Millbourne was separated from Upper Darby Township and was incorporated into a borough. The first council members included John T. Brosnan, Henry A. Shourds, W. H. Lightner, S. F. Wise, L. E. Upham, and E. J. Hawkins.[13]

Sears Roebuck & Co.

Later, a Sears Roebuck & Co. department store was built in 1925 and was located on a plot of land at the northeastern end of Millbourne on what is commonly thought to be a flood plain for Cobbs Creek. The Sears department store, through mercantile tax, provided approximately half of the borough's revenues. It was relocated to the corner of Walnut Street and 69th Street in Upper Darby in 1988. The vacant building was demolished in 2000. The relocation caused significant financial difficulties for the borough.[13]

Economy and development

Economy

For many years, Millbourne relied on property taxes. A Sears store, covering roughly 18-acre (7.28 hectare), would provide money to Millbourne through property taxes. But after the closure of the Sears store in 1988, Millbourne went into financial hardship.[21] By the 1990s, due to mismanagement of borough funds, Millbourne was on the brink of bankruptcy. To receive enough funds to stay afloat, Millbourne had to be designated as a financially distressed municipality by the state of Pennsylvania, be absorbed back into Upper Darby, or contract municipal services within Millbourne out to Upper Darby Township.[22]

Millbourne was designated a financially distressed municipality on January 7, 1993, by the state of Pennsylvania. Factors that led to a distress determination included revenue loss created from the closure of Sears and an evaluation by the Pennsylvania Department of Community and Economic Development.[9] Fairmount Capital Advisors Inc., hired by the state of Pennsylvania, presented a five-year plan to recover Millbourne. The plan included:

  • reducing the numbers of officials in Millbourne council;
  • hiring a borough manager;
  • establishing a business office and a civil service commission;
  • acquiring market-rate, tax-exempt bond financing to finance bank debt, and raise capital for infrastructure repair;
  • improving financial management with new computer systems.[23]

Susana Smith of Bloomfield, New Jersey was hired as the borough manager.[24] Taxes for homeowners in Millbourne rose between 1993 and 2014.[21] A 40% increase in real-estate taxes in the 1995 preliminary budget was adopted by Millbourne due to the distress determination.[25]

In the 2000s, Millbourne was still designated as a financially distressed municipality. Under the leadership of mayor Thomas Kramer, Millbourne enacted land value tax. Millbourne began imposing taxes on the land itself and not on the structures built there. This allowed Millbourne to raise the necessary funds to stay afloat. The former Sears lot became the largest source of revenue for Millbourne.[21] On October 21, 2014, Millbourne was removed from the financially distressed municipality list. [9] Millbourne hadn't overspent its budget in 5 years and even went as far as to use goats to remove weeds.[26]

Grants

Throughout the years, Millbourne has received grants to improve infrastructure. This included grants to improve the heart of Millbourne,[27] local recycling and leaf collection programs,[28] develop the Service and Logistics Center for the Children's Hospital of Philadelphia,[29][30] and for planning around Millbourne Station to attract new businesses.[31]

Development

As part of the Southeastern Pennsylvania Transit Authority (SEPTA)'s revitalization of the Market-Frankford Line, Millbourne station was planned to be modernized in 1998. The station was fully modernized in mid-2007.[32][33]

In 2012, a development plan was created for the vacant 18-acre (7.28 hectare) plot of land that originally hosted Sears. It included multiple retail stores and anchors, housing units and apartments, and new townhall.[34] Due to the property lying within the Cobb's Creek floodplain and being located in a disadvantaged area, the plan was scrapped.[35]

On October 7, 2022, after 7 years of planning, the Children's Hospital of Philadelphia opened a logistics facility at the former Sears lot.[36] With the arrival of the new facility, Delaware Country reassessed the site's value at $50.6 million.[37]

Culture

Diversity

In the 1980s, Millbourne had a majority of Greek Americans and East Asians. Since the 2000s, Millbourne has been considered the first municipality in Pennsylvania with an Asian majority (of primarily South Asians).[38] In 2010, 30% of Millbourne residents identified themselves as being of Asian Indian heritage.[39] Millbourne is often called a "Little India" due to this large Indian presence. Most residents stay for a few years before moving to other places, after they become financially stable.[40]

The increase in the South Asian population in Millbourne can be attributed to the migration of Sikh cab drivers from New York following the September 11th attacks. Seeking refuge from potential hate crimes targeting their use of turbans, as well as drawn by Millbourne's economic opportunities. Another contributing factor to the rise in the South Asian population in Millbourne is the presence of relatives already living in the area, allowing for family reunification.[41]

Religion

Philadelphia Sikhi Society

A gurdwara is located on Garden Court. Since the 1990s, it has been Millbourne's only place of worship.[40] The gurdwara offers prayer services every Sunday and Friday.[42] In 2011, the gurdwara raised relief funds for the 2011 Tōhoku earthquake and tsunami. Around 1,500 Sikhis from the region visit the gurdwara.[43]

Art

Millbourne Station is decorated with metal iridescent peacock feathers. The project, designed by Erland + Kaman in 2009, is called "Paradise."[44] It is an homage to the diverse culture of Millbourne and its people from the Indian sub-continent.[45] There is also a mural located next to the station via a narrow passageway. The mural project was sponsored by City Year in the 2000s.[46]

Food

A myriad of ethnic grocery stores and restaurants are available in Millbourne, including South Asian, East Asian, Latin American, and American foods.[47][48]

Government

Millbourne Borough Hall serves as a central location for various government activities.

Politics

Millbourne is within District 5 of Pennsylvania's Congressional Districts, District 164 of the Pennsylvania House of Representatives, and in District 26 of the Pennsylvania State Senate.[49][50] For decades, Millbourne was a Republican majority. But due to a large arrival of immigrants, in recent years Millbourne became Democratic.[51]

Joseph Artmont Sr., his son Joseph Artmont Jr., and his Republican allies were replaced with a more diverse array of council members. In the 2000s, Thomas Kramer became the last remaining Republican in the Milbourne Council. Kramer then became a Democrat and ran in the 2009 general elections.[51] Kramer won 126 to 58 from then mayor William Donovan Jr.[52] Under the Kramer administration, Millbourne enacted new taxing laws, improved aging infrastructure, and removed itself from the financially distressed municipality list.[21][26]

In the 2021 general elections, Mahabubul Tayub Alam was elected mayor of Millbourne. A total of 165 votes were cast to his name.[53] Under the Tayub administration, Millbourne introduced new developments such as a strip mall located on Market Street and a logistics facility for the Children's Hospital of Philadelphia.[37]

Public safety

Millbourne Police Department

Millbourne maintains its own police department, which provides frequent coverage of each street.[54] Millbourne had an unreliable relationship with its police department in the early 1950s due to Millbourne's civil service laws being carelessly administered.[55] Police officers in the police department were also the lowest paid officers in Delaware County.[56] Since then, tensions between two parties have been resolved. During the early 1980s, Millbourne had the highest crime rate in all of Delaware County.[57] Since then, crime has lowered, with exceptions in the rise of larceny.[58]

Millbourne has a Town Watch, a volunteer organization run in cooperation with the police department.[59] Magisterial courts with presiding jurisdiction for Millbourne are located in Upper Darby.[60]

Millbourne Fire Department

Millbourne had a fire department until it was shut down in 2019. Upper Darby Township fire department, the East Lansdowne fire company and the Yeadon fire company now service Millbourne.[61]

Millbourne does not have its own daily newspaper but is broadly covered by The Delaware County Daily Times and The Philadelphia Inquierer.[62][63]
