Winfield Celebrates 150 Years

While the Winfield site was purchased from the Osage in 1870 by Colonel E.C. Manning, it’s enormous growth prompted the first city council to be set in 1873. The arrival of the railroads contributed to prosperity of the town and by 1900, the population had grown to 5,554.

In 2023, Winfield will be celebrating 150 years with a population of 12,000.

Headed by the Winfield Area Chamber of Commerce, local organizations and businesses have teamed up to create a Winfield 150 Committee & Taskforce to plan events throughout the year to celebrate. The main Sesquicentennial Celebration will happen on June 2nd, 3rd, and 4th.
