A post office was established at Arbor Hill in 1857, the name was changed to Arborhill in 1895, and the post office closed in 1907.[4][5]

Arbor Hill's population was 58 in 1902.[6] The community was once home to the Arbor Hill Co-Operative Creamery Company,[7] a blacksmith shop,[1] and a general store;[1] the Port Union Mill dam was located one half mile west of Arbor Hill, on the Middle River.[8] The community (at that time known as Arborhill) was the site of the Seventh Annual Old Settlers and Old Soldiers Reunion, held on August 12, 13, and 14, 1908.[9]

The Methodist church in Greenfield, constructed in 1877, was built from lumber cut near Arbor Hill.[10] The Fairview Cemetery was established in Arbor Hill in 1876;[11] the cemetery and church are located north of the townsite.

Arborhill's population was 68 in 1924.[12] The 1930 plat book of Adair County shows Arbor Hill platted in the southeast quadrant of Section 20 of Harrison Township, with the community covering one quarter square mile.[13]

In 2018, the Arbor Hill Wind Farm project began, with the MidAmerican Energy Company building enough wind turbines in Arbor Hill and nearby Orient to power 230,000 homes.[14]
