The history of Mill Creek can be traced back to 1798 when John and Sarah Miller settled on what is now known as Miller's Hill in what would later become Mill Creek Township. The first mill was built on the site in 1802 by James and Rachel Miller, who also operated a store and post office on the premises. In 1848, Joseph Haines built a sawmill on Miller's Hill that became one of the largest mills in Bucks County at that time. By 1892, there were six mills operating in Mill Creek Township: two flour mills, two woolen mills, one cotton mill, and one carding machine factory.

Today, there are only three active mills left in Mill Creek: an ice cream plant (owned by Breyers), a cheese factory (owned by Kraft Foods), and a paper mill (owned by MeadWestvaco). However, there are still many businesses located in the town including restaurants such as The Cheesecake Factory and Starbucks; banks such as Citizens Bank and PNC Bank; clothing stores such as JC Penney; hardware stores such as Home Depot; gas stations such as Shell; pharmacies like CVS/Pharmacy #2700; and other small businesses like hair salons and car washes.
