In 1756, Samuel Campbell set sail from Scotland with the dream of opening his own publishing company in America and ultimately, found himself settling in what is now Millburn, New Jersey. His first factory, the Thistle Mill, capitalized on the available water power in the "Raw Way River," In Scottish, "burn" means stream, and therefore, Campbell named his factory, the "mill on the burn." Millburn Township officially adopted the name "Millburn" in 1857. The Paper Mill Playhouse is currently located where Campbell built his first business in 1795.
