During the Saxon domination, it was known by the name of Hetfelle, but not later than 970, when King Edgar donated 5,000 acres (20 km²) to the monastery of Ely, it was already known as Haethfeld.
Hatfield is mentioned in the Domesday Book as the property of Ely Abbey. The town was later called Bishop's Hatfield. In the town there is Hatfield House, the residence of the Cecil family, Marquesses of Salisbury. Elizabeth Tudor was confined there for three years in what is now known as "The Old Palace" in Hatfield Park.
Legend has it that it was here, in 1558, while sitting under an oak tree in the Park, that she learned the news of the death of her half-sister, Queen Mary I. Elizabeth held her first council in the Great Hall (The Old Palace) by Hatfield.
In 1851, the path of the present A1000 was modified to avoid cutting down the gardens of Hatfield House. The city grew around the doors of Hatfield House. The center of Hatfield retains many historic buildings, most notably The Old Palace, St.
Etheldreda's Church and Hatfield House. The Old Palace was built by the Bishop of Ely, Cardinal John Morton, in 1497, during the reign of Henry VII. The only surviving wing of the building is still used today for Elizabethan-style banquets.
St Etheldreda'ss Church was founded by the monks of Ely in 1285. In 1930, the De Havilland Aircraft Company was opened there, which, by 1949, became the largest employer in the city, with nearly 4,000 employees. After World War II, Hatfield was rebuilt under the New Towns Act 1946.
The government designated 2,340 acres (9.5 km²) of Hatfield New Town, with a goal of reaching a population of 25,000. In 2001 the population had reached 27,833.
