== History ==
[[Image:Saratoga-tower.jpg|thumb|left|The [[Saratoga Monument]] of 1883 commemorates the surrender of the British General [[John Burgoyne|Burgoyne]] to American General [[Horatio Gates|Gates]] in 1777, an event that historians note as the "Turning Point of the American Revolution."<ref name = "NPS">{{cite web |url= https://www.nps.gov/sara/planyourvisit/saratoga-monument.htm|title= Saratoga Monument|date= March 14, 2019|publisher= [[National Park Service]]}}</ref>]]

The village was incorporated in 1849. The name Victory is most certainly  to commemorate the defeat of the British at the [[Battles of Saratoga]], where Burgoyne surrendered his sword to Gates.

The village has also been called "[[Victory Mills]]" due to the large (now defunct) cotton mill of the Saratoga Victory Manufacturing Company. The company operated there from 1846 to 1929 and was centrally located on the primary road through town, Gates Avenue. The [[US Postal Service]] refers to the village's [[ZIP code]] as Victory Mills.
