The Central Street Historic District is a historic district encompassing a portion of the historic village center of Millville, Massachusetts. Its spine is Central Street, the main north–south artery through the town, running from Main Street in the north to just south of Quaker Street in the south. The district includes adjoining properties on a number of side streets. The northern end is discontiguous with Millville's Main Street Historic District, on the north side of the Blackstone River, because of the demolition of historic buildings and alterations to the junction of Main and Central Streets. Millville's town offices are located in the former Longfellow School, built in 1850 and located at 8 Central Street. South of the river there is more of a commercial center, and as Central Street climbs the hillside above the river, it becomes more residential. This last area was where the fashionable homes of Millville's wealthier residents were built. The oldest portions of the district are the remnant sites of the mills which prompted the growth of the town. These were built on an island in the river, although later mills were built on its northern and southern banks.
