Enfield Town is a place in the London Borough of Enfield.

Enfield was a collection of small communities spread around the royal hunting grounds of Enfield Chase. At the time of the doomsday book it was spelt Enefelde and had a priest who almost certainly resided in St. Andrews Church.

By 1572 most of the basic street layout had been completed and had a village green which later became the marketplace where the fountain now stands.

In 1871 the great Northern railway opened its station on Windmill Hill. This was later replaced in 1910 when the line was extended to Cuffley.
