Millicent is located in South Australia and is estimated to be about 469 kilometres west of Melbourne, 401 kilometres southeast of Adelaide, and 50 kilometres north of Mount Gambier. The town was first proclaimed in 1870 after a township was developed on the limestone ridge in the centre of the Millicent flats. It is named after Millicent Glen, daughter of the first Anglican Bishop of Adelaide and wife of one of the early pioneers. Millicent soon became well known as a major rural centre for the South Coast and population grew as pine plantations developed in the nearby ranges.
