"New Millennium"
When the new millennium happened on January 1, 2000, the small community received national attention for being the only community in the United States named "Millennium". On New Year's Eve (December 31, 1999), residents gathered in the communities' church tabernacle, built 88 years prior (as of 2000) for a summer revivals. At the stroke of midnight a crane lifted a giant dove over a vacant field; a deliberate act to be different.[3]
