Millers River (Middlesex)
Millers River was a river in Middlesex County, Massachusetts. It has since mostly been obscured by landfill, and made land (land created by filling of waterways). It once formed part of the eastern border between the cities of Cambridge and Somerville.
== History ==
Millers River flowed into the Charles River, providing water transport to commercial and industrial sites along its shores beginning in the early Colonial period.〔http://www.communityheritagemaps.com/cambridge_1873/cambridge_1873_zoomify/q.html〕 It was previously called Willis Creek and is labeled as such on the 1777 Pelham Map, among others. In the late 19th century, Millers River was used as a dumping place for wastes from abattoirs and slaughterhouses. The stench and health problems related to this use resulted in some of the first public health based anti-pollution environmental laws in Massachusetts and provided precedent for early environmental protection laws throughout the United States. The inaccessible and degraded industrial landscape around Millers River and along the lower Charles River basin became known during the late 19th century and 20th century as, "the Lost Half-Mile".
