Millburn is situated on the main south line, thirty-two miles south-west from Dunedin, and four miles north from Milton. Most of the land in the district is cultivated, and very large crops are obtained by the farmers, who are also extensive graziers. Millburn has a railway station, store and post office, a public school and a Presbyterian church. The district's chief industry, apart from agriculture and pasturage, consists in the Millburn Lime and Cement Works.

The Millburn Railway Station was erected many years ago, but in 1892 it was removed to its present site, enlarged and brought up to date. It is thirty-two miles south of Dunedin, and on the main south line of railway. Four trains running north, and a similar number running south, daily make it a stopping place. The business done at the station consists chiefly in despatching the products of the local lime works, which are situated near at hand. The station has a comfortable office, ladies' waiting and retiring rooms, and a large covered vestibule, also a goods shed, cattle yards, and loading bank.

Mr. Alfred Brown , Stationmaster at Miliburn, was born at Green Island, Otago, in 1862, and educated at the Green Island school and Otago Boys' High School. He then entered the railway service, and was for four years in the goods department, Dunedin. Mr. Brown then took up some land at Edendale, but after spending about a year in agricultural work, and passing a short time with his uncle, the late Mr. James Shand, Taieri, he returned to the railway service, and, on the first vacancy, was appointed waggon-clerk at Dunedin. His next promotion was as signalman at Waitati, and later as porter at Pelichet Bay. In 1900 Mr. Brown was appointed stationmaster at Waipahi, and was promoted to his present position on the 31st of July, 1902. He was married, in 1896, to Miss Florence Dunn, of Footscray, Melbourne, and has a family of two sons.
