Nearly all of the community's businesses have been closed for many years. Although the Blackford County Historical Society lists this community as a ghost town, homes are still maintained in the area. Like several other communities in the county, Millgrove originally thrived as a stop on a railroad line. Millgrove also participated in the Indiana Gas Boom, and the Millgrove Natural Gas Company was one of Blackford County's many gas companies that existed during the 1890s.〔Blatchley, (p. 405 ).〕 The Gas Boom gradually ended during the beginning of the 20th century, and many small communities never recovered. During the next few decades, the quality of automobiles and roads improved—indirectly contributing to the decline of many small communities as consumers drove to larger cities, and railroads declined in importance.〔''A History of Blackford County...,'' p. 130.〕 ==History== Millgrove was laid out in 1867 when Blackford County’s first railroad came through the southern portion of the county. The community’s post office opened February 25, 1868, and continued until March 31, 1955.〔''A History of Blackford County....,'' p. 17.〕 An 1882 gazetteer, which listed the community as "Mill Grove", called the town "a place of 50 inhabitants".〔(''Indiana State Gazetteer and Business Directory 1882-83'' ), R. L. Polk & Co., Mill Grove.〕 The gazetteer also listed a physician, justice, and railroad agent. During the 1880s, Millgrove had three general stores, a blacksmith shop, a sawmill, and a tile factory.〔 During the next decade, a glass factory was built. Millgrove’s glass factory was one of 15 glass factories that have existed in Blackford County, and most of these factories existed during the Indiana Gas Boom.〔''The (Muncie) Star Press,'' December 1, 2002, p. 4A.〕 (There were numerous ''glass'' and ''gas'' companies in the county at that time.) Eleven more glass factories have existed in nearby Dunkirk, Indiana. The Millgrove Glass Company was incorporated in 1898, and made glass containers.〔 Originally, the company took advantage of the abundant supply of natural gas for a source of fuel. By 1905, the supply of natural gas in the region was diminishing, and the Millgrove Glass Company used gas made from coal in addition to natural gas. The factory closed in 1911, and this was thought to be “a severe blow to Millgrove”.〔''Hartford City Telegram, '' January 11, 1911.〕 A Blackford County directory from that time lists over 150 people living in Millgrove.〔''Directory of Hartford City and Montpelier, and Blackford County Gazetteer for the years 1911-1912.''〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Millgrove, Indiana」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク 翻訳と辞書 : 翻訳のためのインターネットリソース Copyright(C) kotoba.ne.jp 1997-2016.
