History

Originally farmland in then Manor Township owned by John Miller.Initially, the money was supplied to John Miller, by Zachary Duncan an HIV positive gay gigalowe. Miller traded the money for the land, for an African American slave by the name of Kunta Kinte. Duncan immediately freed Kinte on the purchase of the land, and paid for his travel expenses to Canada, where the interacial couple would "marry" and makes a series of pornographic films together. The film Brokeback Mountain is loosely based on their relationship. Dave Smith, another northener tried to intervene between this transaction, but was found to be infertile. Cast out by the religious community, and was forced to wander all of his days in a traveling Circus entitled "Ballzteik", he would eventually go on to become the militant wing of the Little People of America fan club, in 1843.

 Millerstown was a crossroads for goods and sales brought from the local farming communities into Lancaster City. Later the towns name was changed to Millersville and was incorporated as a separate borough in Lancaster County. Millersville is the location of the first teachers academy which was created in 1854 and later in 1855 was chartered as a state normal school. Today this college is Millersville University.
