Millerton fell from 359 to 215 between 2000 and 2020. These are the recorded population figures Wikidata holds for this place, reached through the Geographic Names Information System number this page is keyed on rather than by name, so they belong to this place and not to another of the same name. Most are census counts, but not all are: an early figure may be a founding or settlement estimate, and an estimate published within five years of a census is left out. The change column is computed, and is left blank where more than 20 years separate a figure from the one before it, because a gap that long is not a change between two counts.

WhenEvent Place namedHarm What the report says
April 2025Tornado (EF1)Millerton$100,000A strong EF-1 tornado with estimated maximum winds near 105 mph touched down just west of Snows Arena Road and south of Highway 70 between Millerton and Garvin, where numerous trees were snapped and uprooted as the tornado tracked towards Highway 70. Before the tornado crossed the highway, tree damage was noted near a home, with a small outbuilding appearing to have collapsed next to the home. After the tornado crossed Highway 70, it produced extensive tree damage along Quails Nest Road, and another small shed/outbuilding was also damaged along this road, with the metal roof having been blown off and carried across the street into a neighboring yard. Documentation of continued damage north-northeast of this road was difficult due to inaccessibility, but based on radar data and noted damage into the North Pole community, the track continued across the Cedar Mountains. In North Pole, very extensive tree damage was found, with numerous snaps and uproots found along Pine View Road. Here, a large tree was found to have fallen on a home. It was in this area that the tornado was expected to had been strongest, with peak winds around 105 mph. Roads were then difficult to follow north of Pine View Road, although extensive tree damage was found along Roadways 5000, 51033, and 50220 to Old Glory Mountain where trees were damaged up to the ridgeline. Roadway access was lost soon after reaching this area, but based on radar data and additional damage found along Highway 259 north of Hochatown and just south of Catfish Bay Road, the tornado track continued. Additional tree damage was found northeast of Catfish Bay Road before road access became problematic again. However, it appears the tornado lifted shortly thereafter over the mountainous terrain, with a nearly 25 mile long track while on the ground for just over 45 minutes.
