The Village of Victory is located in the northeast part of the Town of Saratoga, southwest of and bordering the Village of Schuylerville.

Victory is one of the smallest villages in New York State.

History

The village has also been called "Victory Mills," most likely named so owing to the large (now defunct) factory/mill (Saratoga Victory Manufacturing Company, 1846), centrally located on the primary road through town, Gates avenue.

The village was incorporated in 1849. The name Victory is most certainly due to the defeat of the British at the Battle of Saratoga and the surrender of the sword from Burgoyne to Gates, which ceremony took place in Victory.
