History

Waverly was platted in 1870 when the railroad was extended to that point. It was named after Walter Scott’s 1814 historical novel Waverley; several of the city’s street names were taken from the novel as well. Waverly was incorporated as a village in 1885. From 1921 to 1966 Waverly consolidated its school district with several surrounding school districts, allowing for the school system in Waverly to grow.
