Following the American Revolution, Matthew Miller and his wife, Mary Dunn, emigrated from County Donegal, Ireland to Juniata County. A few years later, they moved and settled on a beautiful piece of ground in what is now Miller Township. The land they owned is situated on top of Warrior Ridge and is still owned by Matthew's descendants. It is for him that the township is named.
Established in 1881, Miller Township was one of the last municipalities created within Huntingdon County. At the time of formation, Miller Township's population was estimated to be between four and five hundred citizens. Today, the population is officially 459.
