Timeline

1850s

  • 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

  • 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
