INTERESTED IN LEARNING ABOUT THE HISTORY OF SPRINGFIELD, OREGON
Springfield was settled when Elias and Mary Briggs and
their family arrived in 1848. They were among the first party to travel to
the region via the “Southern Route” by Klamath Lake, over the Cascades, into
the Rogue Valley, then north to the Willamette Valley. Elias Briggs chose
for his home a place convenient to a spring of water and in due time this
land was fenced in. This enclosure became known as the “springfield” —
hence the name of the town. The Briggs family operated a ferry across the
Willamette River at roughly the site now occupied by the Union Pacific
railroad bridge.
In 1852, Mr. Briggs began building a town. He dug and
built the mill race and he and Mr. Driggs of Linn County formed the Briggs
and Driggs Company and began to build a flour mill and a saw mill in 1853
and 1854 respectively.
Springfield was platted in 1856, incorporated as a
city February 25, 1885, and received its charter March 17, 1893. In 1891,
Springfield had a general merchandise store, two grocery stores, two cigar
stores, a drug store, two dress shops, two blacksmiths, a variety store, a
meat market, a saloon, a barber shop, a shoe store, three hotels, two
schools, and three churches. Also, in 1891, Springfield received its first
railroad line. In 1910, Springfield welcomed the Portland, Eugene and
Electric Railroad streetcar.
Springfield maintained its small town ways until after
World War II. The retail center was still Main Street, industries were
northwest of the railroad tracks and residences were to the north. In 1940,
the City’s area was only 1.5 square miles and the population only 3,805. By
1998, apartments covered the spring. The City expanded to more than 13
square miles and the population grew to 51,700.
