The hamlet is named for its bridge over the River Waver. Historically there was a mill in Waverbridge, which in 2010 was converted into a care home for children. The conversion proved controversial both with residents of the village and with Dundraw parish council, citing concerns about anti-social behaviour and that a small village was not well-suited to housing teenagers.
