Newfield was incorporated as a borough by an Act of the New Jersey Legislature on March 8, 1924, from portions of Deptford Township. The borough was named for Henry M. Field (1835–1906), who owned most of the land that became Newfield and established its first post office in 1878.
The settlement was originally called "Fields" until he renamed it for himself following his election as president of the Camden & Amboy Railroad Company. The town continued to grow through much of the 20th century with several large farms and estates established in its rural areas along with many large Victorian homes that were built along its main boulevard during this time period that still stand today as well as several large estates located along River Road.
