Crogga Mill stands within the historic Crogga estate on the Old Castletown Road, an estate long associated with the Quayle family of Mann, who acquired land here from the 1830s onward. One estate history describes the mill site as centuries old, retaining an ancient mill wheel, and the Isle of Man Steam Railway, opened in 1874, runs directly through the grounds of the estate. Beyond this, detailed documentary history specific to the mill building itself is limited in the sources available.
