The town was initially called Unionville after the Union Church that was established there in 1797. The town's first store was built in 1815. The current town name honors Abraham Neff, first postmaster of the Neffs post office. Abraham Neff laid out the village while running a coach business and local hotel. The area then became "Neffsville", a name that was later shortened to "Neffs".
The present day Neffs post office was built in 1967. At that time, the first non-agricultural manufacturing plant was built in Neffs by Ted Ambrosino, who established Ambro Fashions.
