The New Haven community is known for its small-town atmosphere. With a population of 1,857, New Haven is small enough to be a place where people still wave to each other on the street, yet big enough to provide a wide range of services and opportunities.

Because New Haven is such a desirable community in which to live and work, population growth over the past several years has been steady. The community’s employment base is solid, the real estate market is active and at least 80 new single family housing units are slated for construction over the next four years.

Schools
New Haven has long been synonymous with the "Shamrocks" and the New Haven School District. The Shamrocks basketball teams of the 1950s helped put New Haven on the map, winning four consecutive state basketball championships. New Haven schools today are noted for their tradition of excellence, rooted in strong community support. The New Haven area is home to both the New Haven School District and Franklin County R-II School District located south of town.
