History

By 1930, when it had 75 residents, the primarily black settlement had grown to become the ninth-largest population center in Washington County. Contrary to many other municipalities in Washington County, it saw its highest growth throughout the 20th century. From 1930 until 1950, when the estimated population fell to forty, Mill Creek's population remained constant. Even though Brenham's proximity and better transportation caused business activity to drop by 1970, Mill Creek was still a major supply hub for the area in 1988. The community has primarily White residents as a result of new weekend and year-round residents moving in from Brenham and Houston. A beautiful new residential portion was the outcome of extensive housing development. Mill Creek is close to Mount Pilgrim Church. The population remained at 40 in 2000. [2]
