Hauterive is first mentioned about 1148 as arta ripa. The village's beginnings were first recorded in 1443 when monks founded the monastery Fontaine-André.

Hauterive has an area, as of 2009, of 2.1 square kilometers (0.81 mi2). Of this area, 0.25 km2 (0.097 mi2) or 11.8% is used for agricultural purposes, while 1.27 km2 (0.49 mi2) or 59.9% is forested. Of the rest of the land, 0.64 km2 (0.25 mi2) or 30.2% is settled (buildings or roads).

Of the built-up area, industrial buildings made up 1.9% of the total area while housing and buildings made up 15.6% and transportation infrastructure made up 6.6%. while parks, green belts and sports fields made up 5.7%. Out of the forested land, all of the forested land area is covered with heavy forests.
