== History ==
Millard, like so many small American towns, owes its birth to the railroads. Mr. James Nicolas secured a land grant for the area surrounding present-day Millard from the State of Missouri in 1866. Nicolas then promptly sold the western half of the grant to the North Missouri Railroad Company. At the time the railroad was busy with the planning and construction of a line north from Macon with the destination being Kirksville. With the coming of the rail lines in 1868 a few families began to settle nearby, eventually reaching an estimated eighty families by the time a town plat was made in 1872. The name Belle Prairie was first assigned but soon changed to Millard, to honor the son of early pioneers Samuel and Maggie Miller. The railroads found Millard a convenient location to refuel, so a large coal storage bin and loading chute were established trackside. A small stockyard was also constructed, allowing farmers a place to keep their livestock before shipping them to markets in larger cities. In its turn-of-the-20th-century heyday Millard boasted as many as 19 businesses, however that number has been greatly reduced today. Two transportation advantages play to Millards favor: Kirksville Regional Airport is located directly across US Highway 63 from Millard, offering commuter air service to larger cities. In recent years US Highway 63 has been expanded to four lanes between Kirksville and Macon, Missouri with Millard being selected by MoDOT as the southern terminus of the Kirksville bypass.
