Local Area Info: Waverly, Minnesota

The name of the original settlement was Waverly Mills, given its name after a community in Waverly, New York, the former home of one of the partners. It was constructed by a surveyor and his partners. They constructed a dam, a saw mill, and a grist mill in 1865 at the outlet of Little Waverly Lake. Waverly Mills managed to survive a rough start with a bank panic, financial crash, and subsequent grasshopper infestations. The saw and grist milling industry helped establish a store, post office, and a log church with a cemetery. The village of Waverly gained the Waverly Station in 1869 when the Saint Paul and Pacific Railroad was extended to that point in Wright County. A post office has been in operation at Waverly since 1869 as well. Waverly Mills began to be incorporated in 1881, although the process remained under township jurisdiction for approximately ten additional years, during which time complete severance from the township was achieved. The community's name was changed in 1899, this time to simply Waverly. The Waverly Village Hall, built in 1939, is listed on the National Register of Historic Places.
