It was one of the first villages in Ireland to have its own electricity supply: a mill on the Milltown River providing power to the village long before rural electrification.

The village is close to the Milltownpass Bog. The Milltown River begins at the north side of the village and flows south to the County Offaly border where it splits into the Monagh River.

Amenities in Milltownpass include Grennan's pub, social services, a community centre, St. Joseph's National Primary School, and funeral home. Local employers include Cole Arc Engineers, Wrights Windows and Skyclad.{{fact|date=March 2020}}
