The village is recognizing the 150-year anniversary of its incorporation in 1873. The first village council meeting took place in May 1873 with an election of a council. Jason Hemenway was elected the village’s first president. Deerfield, however, was actually founded in 1825 as Kedzie’s Grove by William Kedzie, a Scottish immigrant who had been living in New York.

The name of the community was changed to Deerfield in the mid-1830s at the suggestion of Ephraim Clark due to the bountiful deer in the area by a vote of a majority of the handful of families living in the town.
