Winfield, in Marion and Fayette counties, lies in country where Chickasaw bands once hunted; there were no known Native settlements in the county, only hunting camps. After the Chickasaw ceded their lands to the United States in 1816, settlers moved in and farmed, but the area remained sparsely populated after the Civil War.
Change came in 1896, by the town's marker, with surveyors of the Kansas City, Memphis and Birmingham Railroad. The settlement was first called Luxapallila, after the nearby creek, and some residents jokingly called it Needmore, but the Post Office rejected that name because Alabama already had a Needmore. Admirers of General Winfield Scott, hero of the Mexican War, suggested his name instead. Sources differ on the date of incorporation: the marker gives January 15, 1891, and Wikipedia says 1887 or 1891. The railroad laid out the first streets and launched the town's economy. In late 2014 the city council, by unanimous vote, symbolically declared God the owner of the city.
