Springfield
- Springfield High School is built.
- The City of Springfield joined the Aircraft Warning Service Observation Tower. The service was a chain of observation posts stretched across the West Coast from Mexico to Canada.
- Although construction of new buildings was somewhat restricted during the war (the national “Stop Order” for building construction, which limited residential construction to homes under $500, farm buildings to less than $1000 and commercial, industrial and recreational structures to less than $5000, was issued in April 1942), growth continued in large part in response to the war.
