History
Westfield, originally known as the “West Fields”, was once a popular trail for the Lenni-Lenape Indians whose heritage remains in many streets named for them. In the late 19th century the town was settled by immigrants from Europe, and continues today to sustain the residential tradition begun in the late 19th century with several areas officially designated as historic homes sections.

The town is distinguished by its single-family homes, broad tree-lined streets and cultural and community recreational programs. In addition, it boasts a high rate of community involvement and volunteerism.
