Millican is an unincorporated community and former municipality in Brazos County, Texas, United States.

[5] A skirmish erupted and lasted for several days in what one historian has called "“the worst incident of racial violence in Texas during Reconstruction.”[6] The community was formerly an incorporated municipality.

A letter sent to Greg Abbott, then the Texas Attorney General, from the Brazos County Attorney, Jim Kuboviak, stated that an either an election of 1866 or a "special act" law passed by the Texas Legislature had incorporated Millican as a municipality, and that the community had one person serving as mayor.

[8] By 2006 there was no collection of taxation for any municipal services, and Brazos County officials wanted Abbott to determine if Millican's incorporation was still in effect.

[7] A lawyer that Brazos County used as a consultant had stated that she could not find proof that the municipality ever dissolved.

[8] In November 2006 the Office of the Texas Attorney General made a ruling stating that Millican was not an incorporated municipality due to a law that was enacted in 1897 stating that a city which had no executive officials in a period of at least 10 years would automatically dissolve; this law was in effect until 1925, and so Millican would have dissolved automatically.

The determination allowed a land developer to move forward with a project as there was no city council to deal with.
