About Springfield
Springfield may be one of the country's most common city names, but Springfield, Missouri stands on its own. As a mid-size metro area, the city has a healthy job market, a positive economic outlook, an active arts community, and good neighborhoods, and cultural attractions.
The city is known as "The Birthplace of Route 66," due to its early connection with the designation of that highway. The Route 66 Association of Missouri has dedicated a plaque in Park Central Square just for that.
