Westfield, North Carolina

Westfield in an unincorporated community in Surry and Stokes counties in North Carolina, United States.

Westfield was originally named "Tom's Creek" but the name was later changed to Westfield in recognition of the Quaker ("Society of Friends") mission, first established here in 1760, by members of New Garden Friend's Meeting from Guilford County, North Carolina.

Early Friends from New Garden traveled through Quaker Gap in the Sauratown Mountains to establish the Meeting at Tom's Creek, and the area was referred to at the time as "the western field,' later becoming "Westfield."

Westfield is the childhood hometown of Kenneth Lowe, president of Scripps Networks Interactive, and the creator of Home & Garden Television.

Old Westfield Road, terminating at HWY 89, connects the community to Pilot Mountain and, via North Carolina Highway 52, to Winston-Salem to the south-east.
