- The name probably derives from the marshy grasses or sedges around the area in which Sedgefield was built in about 8-900 AD, still visible in Hardwick Park.
- Sedgefield also has earlier Roman occupation, evidence of which was unearthed in East Park by Channel 4's Time Team in 2003.
- Sedgefield Racecourse is well known throughout the country attracting many visitors.
- Modern development began in late 1960 and continued until recently with the addition of housing on the site of the former Winterton Hospital. This influx of relative newcomers means that Sedgefield has gained the vibrancy of a small town while retaining the community spirit associated with village life.
- The village green, still in constant use for community activities, has been a feature of the town for centuries.
- Sedgefield's beautiful Norman church of St. Edmund, a splendid Grade 1 listed building, towers over the green and the surrounding conservation area with its fine examples of Georgian and Queen Anne architecture.
