The Utah Territory legislature created the county on October 4, 1851, with territory not previously covered by county creations, and including some area in the future state of Nevada. It was named for thirteenth US President Millard Fillmore, who was in office at the time.
In 1851, Brigham Young came with a company to find a place to settle and Fillmore was chosen as the state capital. Fillmore was chosen due to its being centralized.
The Topaz War Relocation Center was a World War II Japanese internment camp located in Millard County 15 miles west of Delta. The location is open to the public with a memorial at the northwest corner.
