geography

Urban area
The structure of the city center is formed by the intersection of two state highways . Illinois State Route 158 , or Washington Avenue, runs to Columbia on the west and Belleville on the east . The other main street is Jefferson Avenue, the northern portion of which forms the southern end of Illinois State Route 163 . This leads north to Centerville , where it crosses highways on which one can reach St. Louis . The southern end of Jefferson Avenue is then called Floraville Road outside of Millstadt.
history
During a joint barn building in 1836, it was proposed that a town be founded on Henry Randleman’s estate. It should be called Centerville because it is equidistant from Belleville , Columbia , and Pittsburg Lake. On March 13, 1837 a land map ( plat ) was created. In 1880 the name was changed to Millstadt, as the name Centerville was already used by another town nearby.
Another version (from the Millstadt school homepage): “The story of how Centerville became Millstadt was something like this: The present Centerville and our Centerville each had a post office, in which a large amount of mail got mixed up and was delivered incorrectly. Our ancestors applied for official state organization. They had decided to use the name "Mittlestadt" or "Middlestadt", which literally means "center city". Somehow the letter was misinterpreted and the files were sent back with "Millstadt". As you can imagine, the government group decided to keep this name because we had several mills at the time and the name was a fitting. "
