Timeline
1850s
- According to an article in the Eugene Register dated July 4, 1891, the first store was opened in 1852 by James Huddleston on the east bank of the Willamette River as a trading post in Springfield, near Mill and Main Street.
- In 1853, a small trading post was kept by J.N. Donalds near the corner of present-day Mill and Main Streets (Walling 1884:452).
- Springfield was platted in 1856, at which time two blocks between South A, Main, Mill, and Third Streets were laid out into eight lots each. The lots measured 66x120 feet, with streets 66 feet in width and alleys 14 feet wide. Though the town was oriented to the Willamette River, it developed along a standard grid system that was aligned to the four cardinal directions.
1940s
- Signaling the development that was to come along Main Street eastward toward Thurston, the Paramount Market opened its new “supermarket” at the corner of Main and 21st Street in March 1945 launching what would become the Paramount commercial district (Springfield News 1943, 1945)
- Springfield sought a new post office in 1947, but was not approved for a new facility until 1949, when a new concrete building was constructed on Main at 6th for the new office.
1950s
- A new Dairy Queen opened on Main between 8th and 9th Streets in 1951.
