Miller Township in Perry County Pennsylvania was erected by act of the State Legislature dated March 11, 1852. Joseph Bailey, who later became a congressman, is credited with naming the township, it being named in honor of David Miller. Bailey was in the Pennsylvania State Senate at the time of the township’s erection as the representative of Perry and Cumberland Counties and sponsored the bill, which follows: “That all that portion of Oliver and Wheatfield Townships in the County of Perry, beginning at the Juniata River; thence along the line of Joseph Trimmer and Alexander’s heirs, and between said Trimmer and David Smith and Bosserman’s heirs to the middle of the back road; thence in a straight line to a hickory tree, a corner between the lands of Joseph Bailey and Cathcart and Deweese, on the top of Buffalo Ridge; thence westwardly along the top of said ridge to a point one-half mile west of the State road; thence in a straight line to the top of Limestone Ridge where the line dividing Oliver and Centre.”
