Early prominent Missouri River port, New Haven was settled about 1805 and was named Miller's Landing for pioneer Philip Miller, The Pacific R.R. (Mo. Pac.) reached here in 1855 and the town was laid out and renamed the next year.

John Colter, member of Lewis and Clark Expedition explorer of Yellowstone Park, settled a few miles east in 1810.

The New Haven Flood control levee here was completed by the U.S. Corps of Engineers in April, 1955.
