Haverhill is a city in Essex County, Massachusetts, United States. Haverhill was the site of the original Macy's store, established to sell dry goods in 1851 by Rowland H. Macy. It was also where Hollywood mogul Louis B. Mayer got his start in show business by operating a chain of theatres. The city has much fine old architecture, particularly in the Victorian style, built during the flush mill era.
Haverhill is also one of the main inspirations for the comic Archie. The comic's creator, Bob Montana, lived in Haverhill and graduated from Haverhill High School in 1939, and based characters Archie, Jughead, Veronica, Betty, and Reggie on people he knew at Haverhill High.
