Springfield is the largest city on the Connecticut River and the county seat of Hampden County, Massachusetts, United States.[2]
In the 2000 census, the city population was 154,082 with an estimated 2008 population of 150,640.[1] It is the third largest city in Massachusetts and fourth largest in New England (behind Boston, Worcester and Providence). Springfield has two nicknames — The City of Homes and The City of Firsts.
Historically the first Springfield in the United States, it is the largest city in Western Massachusetts and the Pioneer Valley.
Springfield is notable as the birthplace of Theodor Seuss Geisel, better known as Dr. Seuss, as well as the city where James Naismith invented basketball. It is home to the Basketball Hall of Fame, the Springfield Falcons AHL ice hockey team, and the Springfield Armor NBA Development League team. It also holds the largest collection of Chinese cloisonné outside Asia at the G.W. Vincent Smith Art Museum.
The Springfield Metropolitan Statistical Area consists of three counties: Hampden, Hampshire, and Franklin. At the 2000 census, the Springfield MSA had a population of 680,014 (though a July 1, 2007, estimate placed the population at 682,657).[3] It is also part of a larger metropolitan area known as the Northeast megalopolis.
Geography
Springfield is located at 42°6'45?N 72°32'51?W? / ?42.1125°N 72.5475°W (42.112411, -72.547455).[23] According to the United States Census Bureau, the city has a total area of 33.2 square miles (86.0 km²) of which 32.1 square miles (83.1 km²) is land and 1.1 square miles (2.8 km²) (3.31%) is water.
Springfield sits on the bank of the Connecticut River, just a few miles north of the border between Massachusetts and Connecticut. Along the river, the city is fairly low and flat. Moving outward from the river, the terrain becomes more hilly, most prominently along State Street and Belmont Avenue.
Springfield is typically divided up into eighteen distinct neighborhoods. They are, as defined by the city election commission: Bay, Boston Road, Brightwood, East Forest Park, East Springfield, Forest Park, Indian Orchard, Liberty Heights, McKnight, Memorial Square, Metro Center, North End, Old Hill, Pine Point, Six Corners, Sixteen Acres, South End, and Upper Hill. Their exact boundaries are disputed by Census data, civic wards, precinct borders, zip codes, and the opinions of the city's citizens. Many of the neighborhoods are subdivided again according to landmarks or voting precincts. Some names are unofficial, but are used by area residents nonetheless. For example, the Hollywood section in the South End actually refers to a housing complex, and Mason Square (formally known as Winchester Square) is the central intersection in the McKnight neighborhood.
Forest Park lies in the southwestern part of the city, along the border with affluent Longmeadow, Massachusetts. The park is one of the largest municipal parks in the United States. The city shares borders with the towns of Longmeadow, East Longmeadow, Wilbraham, Ludlow and the city of Chicopee. The cities of Agawam and West Springfield are across the Connecticut River. The city owns Cobble Mountain Reservoir, its water supply, located in the towns of Blandford, Granville and Russell, at the western edge of Hampden County. It also owns Franconia Golf Course, located mostly in East Longmeadow.

Springfield is the economic center of western Massachusetts. Greater Springfield is largest concentration of retail establishments in the area. Springfield is also home to the largest Fortune 500 company in Massachusetts. Baystate Health is the city's largest employer with over 10,000 employees.
With its high concentration of institutes of higher learning and large medical centers such as Baystate Medical Center, the area has a number of biotech firms. Springfield also has a regional Shriners Hospital.
Springfield is home to Baystate Health, the largest medical center in western New England and the Western Campus of Tufts University. Baystate Medical Center is currently adding a $500 Million addition, the largest current construction project in New England.
As with every other northern U.S. industrial city, Springfield has had economic problems, due largely to a decline in manufacturing. Many major companies that maintained factories in the city closed their facilities, moving to the suburbs or out of New England altogether.
A downtown revitalization project known as Baystate West, was completed in 1973. The construction contributed to Springfield's modern skyline. Following Baystate West, many other modern buildings were constructed through the 1980s. Since the 90s though, no tall buildings have been built. However, there have been several important projects during this time such as the $120 Million Civic Center renovation and the $150 Million new Basketball Hall of Fame.
The Eastfield Mall was built in Springfield's more suburban like Sixteen Acres neighborhood in 1969. Consequently, Springfield's largest retail area is now on Boston Road, on the northeastern edge of the city, rather than downtown. The Holyoke Mall at Ingleside, the largest mall in western New England, opened in the 1980s in nearby Holyoke.
Many banks headquartered in Springfield closed or merged with larger banks. The only bank left headquartered in Springfield is Hampden Bank.
As of 2009 Greater Springfield ranks as the 24th most important high-tech center in the United States with almost 14,000 high-tech jobs.[32]
Culture
Springfield retains strong ethnic characteristics seen in the variety of restaurants available in all parts of the city.
Springfield is home to many fine museums at The Quadrangle along with its main library. The collection includes the first planetarium in the country and the Dr Seuss National Memorial. Springfield also has its own orchestra.
Greater Springfield is also home to the Eastern States Exposition, also known as the "Big E". The Big E acts as New England's state fair. The fair is one of the largest in the country and brings thousands of tourists to the area each September.
Due to its distance from Boston, many residents of Springfield feel that the city and region have been ignored by the powers that be in the eastern parts of the state. Said powers are periodically accused of lumping Springfield and its formerly industrial neighbors together with the rest of the agricultural areas west of Worcester.
Some have observed, sarcastically, that Springfield maintains a better relationship with Hartford, CT than with Boston. Springfield is physically closer to Hartford (the cities are only 25 miles apart) while sharing both Interstate 91 and Bradley International Airport. Sometimes they are considered twin citie
