This was part of the large tract of land sold on November 28, 1668 by Newichawannock Indian Chief Sunday (or Wesumbe) to Francis Small, a trader from Kittery. The price was 2 large Indian blankets, 2 gallons of rum, 2 pounds of gunpowder, 4 pounds of musket balls and 20 strings of Indian beads. Small then sold half his interest to Major Nicholas Shapleigh of Eliot. The township was surveyed and first settled in 1778 as Washington Plantation. A number of settlers had been soldiers in the Revolutionary War. It was incorporated as Newfield on February 25, 1794. In 1846, the town annexed 600-800 acres from Shapleigh.
The Little Ossipee River (a tributary of the Saco River) runs through Newfield village, once providing water power to operate two gristmills, two lumber mills, a barrel stave mill, a shook mill, a planing mill and a carding mill. West Newfield had a sawmill, gristmill and stave mill. There was an attempt in the community to mine silver and iron, but it was not profitable. By 1870, the population was 1,493. Newfield would be damaged by the Great Fires of 1947.
Don King of Topsfield, Massachusetts bought an old farm at Newfield in 1965, marking the beginning of what would become Willowbrook Museum Village, a recreated 19th-century village. Other properties and historic buildings were added, together with a collection of early farm implements, tools, carriages and sleighs. The museum is now a tourist attraction.
