Several sources pinpoint Millersville as a station, including the 1861 mail contract.  The station received its name from A. B. Miller, a partner of William Russell and William Waddell. A Mormon named Holmes ran a trading post at the site, and also managed station operations there.  In his research, Franzwa mentions Millersville Stage Station which shared its facilities with the Pony Express.
