The village was originally named Gary’s Mill, and later Fredericksburg, after the large German-speaking community that lived there. In 1867, Winfield became the county seat after a close election and a daring raid on the Naperville courthouse to secure the county records. The village was named after General Winfield Scott, a hero of the Mexican-American War and the Civil War.
