New Haven School No. 78 was established in March 1879 and a schoolhouse located at NW15-4-8 West of the Principal Meridian in what would become the Municipality of Pembina. The district was partitioned in 1893, with portions of its catchment area split off to create the McFadden School No. 774 and Midland School No. 845.
