The tower of the Royal Kennebeccasis Yacht Club (RKYC) has been a beacon to boaters since its construction at the turn of the 20th century.

The airport site was chosen because Millidgeville experiences the least amount of fog of Saint John and the surrounding communities.

When the new Saint John Airport opened on Loch Lomond Road in the early 1950s there were a lot more complaints of flights being delayed by fog.

During Millidge's time, there were over thirty large oceangoing wooden ships built at his "Kennebecasis Shipyard."

(Gordon) Holder (World War I and World War II) and Edith (Kee) Holder bought the land from their son and lived there happily for half a century while "the Colonel" operated a haulout and storage yard for pleasure craft until a disastrous fire destroyed many boats and the storage buildings.

There are members of the Seely, White, Giggey, Cobham, Holder, Craft, and Ring families still living in Millidgeville today.

Millidgeville was largely a summer cottage area for Saint John residents who wanted to get out of the fog.

With numerous side streets built off the main roads Millidgeville is now a bedroom community of Saint John.
