Millfield was founded in 1935 by RJO Meyer (always affectionately referred to just as "Boss") in the house originally owned by the Clark family, who owned and ran the major shoe manufacturer Clarks. Over the years the school acquired land and houses around the locale, and a result there are now many boarding houses within a 15 mile (25 km) radius of the original site. In recent years a campus has been developed and most of the boarding houses are close to or on the campus.
