History
Battlefield, first located in adjacent Lauderdale County, Mississippi, was allegedly established on and named for a Choctaw battlefield. Its first post office opened in 1849 before it was moved Newton County, Mississippi in March 1860. The community served as the northern terminus of the Tallahatta Railroad and at one point had a number of businesses and churches, along with a school. The post office stayed open until 1915. The community has a cemetery, though all of its tombstones disappeared overnight in the 1970s.

The community was more recently home to a dragstrip called the Battlefield Raceway that has since been shut down.
