The City of Haverhill, located in northeastern Massachusetts on the Merrimack River, is one of the oldest historic communities in the state. It was originally named Pentucket by its first inhabitants, the Pentucket Indians. The name Pentucket means "land of the winding river" (The Merrimack River winds its way through much of Haverhill). Haverhill, MA was first settled by Europeans in the year 1640. One year later, in 1641, the land was purchased from the Pentucket Indians and incorporated as the town of Haverhill. Like many New England towns, Haverhill took its name from a community of the same name in England. Haverhill was later incorporated as a city in 1870.
