Millerton is a small settlement in the northwestern South Island of New Zealand in the West Coast region.

The history of Millerton bears some resemblance to that of Denniston, being a town that lived from and for the coal that was mined in the Ranges.

William McIntyre from Millerton was a member of the Legislative Council from 1921 until he died in 1949, and was known as the Father of the Upper House.

With the Denniston and the smaller Millerton mining operations having ended, the nearby Stockton coalfield is continuing the tradition of West Coast coal.

[citation needed] Tourists often venture further up the West Coast north of Westport.

The closed section of old road can be walked down as far as the Millerton 'Granity Creek' Bridge, from which there are a series of waterfalls to be viewed.

[citation needed] A creek formed the reservoir dam where the coal miners used to come and bathe after a long day mining, and remnants of the pipework which flowed with hot water heated by the mines still remains at the site.
