Winfield is an unincorporated community in Columbia County, in the U.S. state of Georgia.[1]

History

A post office called Winfield was established in 1851, and remained in operation until 1918.[2] It is unclear why the name "Winfield" was applied to this community.[3] A variant name is "Sharon Church".[1]

Near Winfield stands Woodville, an antebellum plantation mansion which was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1979.[4]
