History

Millswood was named after Scotsman Samuel Mills, who arrived in the colony in 1839 and owned a property called Ravenswood Farm.In 1917, Hackett's Nursery, a family-run business then in Marryatville, was sold to a limited company, E. & W. Hackett Limited, with the Hacketts continuing as directors. In the same year the business bought a 6-acre (2.4 ha) plot in the Millswood Estate for over £20,067 to accommodate the nursery, which drew glowing praise in a 1923 newspaper article and continued to do business there until 1952.
