The St. Joseph's parochial school and the Immaculate Conception Church, established in the 1870s pre-date Haverhill's official 1882 platting by the Chicago, Milwaukee and St. Paul Railway (also known as the Milwaukee Road). The railroad carried both freight and passengers, with passenger service traveling east and west each stopping in Haverhill three times daily.


The community mostly stored grain in elevators, while hosting several small industries and town services including a lumber company, blacksmith shop, bank, general store, grocer, and schools.Throughout the 20th century, these businesses and services mostly closed. Rail traffic fell, first losing passenger rail service before freight traffic ceased in 1980.


Prior to this, the German Savings Bank (established in 1908) shuttered in the early 1920s. By the mid-20th century, the public school had merged into the Marshalltown Community School District, with the St. Joseph's Catholic school closing in 1968.The town was only officially incorporated in 1968, when residents chose to elect a city government, establishing municipal services, including a fire department.


Just before the city's official incorporation, the Haverhill Development Corporation expanded streets and available housing from 3rd Avenue to 4th Avenue. The town's roads were then paved in the 1980s, with sewer services later overhauled in the 1990s and early 2000s.
