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.
