-	Springfield remained a small town until World War II, and its population made only modest increases: 1,855 in [[1920]]; 2,364 in [[1930]] and 3,805 in [[1940]]. By comparison, its sister city of [[Eugene]] had a population of 10,593 in [[1920]]; 18,901 in [[1930]]; and 20,838 in [[1940]] (Spicer n.d). Springfield’s boundaries changed little between the years of [[1915]] and 1940; only a small neighborhood north of [[Willamane Park]] was ~~added between [[1931]] and [[1945]]. In 1940, the city covered an area of 1.5 square miles, with its commercial district still located on [[Main Street (Springfield)\|Main Street]], close~~ to the ~~[[Willamette River]]. The residential neighborhoods expanded primarily north and east of the city center, while the industrial section remained~~ in the ~~Booth-Kelly area south of the Southern Pacific railroad tracks~~. ~~Bordering~~ the ~~town~~ on the ~~west was the growing city of Eugene~~. ~~Abutting all of~~ the ~~urbanized area was prime agricultural land that was still farmed~~. ~~The communities of [[Thurston area\|Thurston]] and [[Natron]] remained rural~~ in ~~nature~~.	+
-		+
-	~~Clear evidence of the increased~~ use ~~of the automobile~~ in ~~[[Springfield]]~~ by ~~the 1920s was the replacement of the streetcar bridge across the [[Willamette River]] by a span of concrete and steel for vehicle use in [[1929]] (Graham 1978:7)~~.	+
-		+
-	~~Between 1907~~ and ~~1921,~~ the ~~number of businesses in Springfield grew from 34 to 96,~~ and ~~the latter figure remained fairly stable until 1940~~. ~~All of~~ the ~~modern amenities~~ of ~~an urban center were available in~~ the ~~city center. There were several banks and hotels~~, ~~a publishing house, and a variety~~ of ~~shops~~ and ~~services~~, ~~including specialty stores such as a watchmaker~~, ~~tailor~~, ~~and floral shop (Polk 1921:241-253; 1935:347-358; 1929:439-461; 1934:463-484; 1936:469-493). The 1921 city directory for Springfield states that large lumber manufacturing mills~~, ~~sash~~, ~~door and planing mill~~, ~~a flour mill~~, ~~barrel stave factory~~, ~~shingle mill~~ and ~~lesser industrial manufactories provide a large payroll (Polk 1921:241)~~.	+
-		+
-	~~That same year,~~ a ~~factory for making portable houses and garages was opened in an old planing mill building (Special Collections n.d.:Box 66/19, Folder 11B). In [[1925]], [[1928]] and [[1936]],~~ the ~~same manufactories listed above were still in operation, as well as a wood-preserving plant (Polk 1925:347;1928:439; 1936:469). A meat packing plant for hog products was opened in [[1920]]~~ by ~~[[Swartz and Washburner]], and in [[1926]], a tannery and second meat packing plant were operating (Special Collections n.d.:Box 66/19, Folder 11B).~~	+
-		+
-	~~Timber remained~~ the ~~primary industry in the area~~. ~~The region’s sawmill industry~~	+
-	~~continued to grow between 1925 and 1949 despite periodic “downturns” in production (Mbogho~~	+
-	~~1965:34)~~.	+

-	~~Most of the original land claims in Springfield were filed between '''[[1851]]''' and '''[[1853]]'''. The average size of a claim was 320 acres. Building sites were located~~ on the high ground because of frequent flooding of 1851-1852. [[Briggs, Elias\|Elias Briggs]] began building a town. In '''[[1852]]''', using shovel and plow, he built the [[Millrace_(Springfield)\|Millrace]].	+
-		+
-	~~After the Millrace was completed, he and Mr. Driggs of Linn County formed the '''[[Briggs and Driggs Company]]'''~~ to ~~build~~ the flour and sawmills in 1853 and '''[[1854]]'''. They were not the usual slap-dash mills built in pioneer communities for temporary and local consumption only, but instead, were constructed under the supervision of an experienced millwright hired from the east. They used the latest and best machinery and spending $10,000 on the two mills. '''[1]'''	+
-		+
-	~~In the early 1850s, the settlement of Springfield consisted only~~ of a ferry service across the Willamette, the '''[[Briggs' house]]''', two mills, a trading post and a school. In 1852, [[Huddleston, James\|James Huddleston]] started the trading post, near '''[[Mill Street_(Springfield)\|Mill]]''' and '''[[Main Street_(Springfield)\|Main Street]]'''.	+
-		+
-	~~The subsistence level of early farming was due to several conditions including poor~~	+
-	~~transportation and a lack of readily accessible markets (Highsmith 1950:55-58). In addition,~~	+
-	~~equipment was primitive and the labor force insufficient for large scale farming purposes. The~~	+
-	~~California Gold Rush of '''[[1849]]''' provided the first major market for animal products and grain~~	+
-	~~produced in the region. The cultivation of cereal grains, primarily wheat and oats, began to~~	+
-	~~compete with stock raising for use of the land. Most farmers raised grain crops~~ as ~~well~~ as ~~stock~~	+
-	~~for commercial purposes~~. ~~In approximately 1853, about 1000 acres were under cultivation in the~~	+
-	~~Springfield area (Walling 1884:452).~~	+
-		+
-	~~The first schoolhouse was probably located in a crude little building near '''~~[~~[7th Street_(Springfield)\|7th Street~~]~~]''' and '''~~[~~[South B Street_(Springfield)\|South B Street~~]~~]'''s~~. ~~Two other schools also served the residents of the [[:Category:Thurston area\|Thurston area]]~~. ~~This area was named after '''[[Thurston~~, ~~George H\|George H Thurston]]'''~~, a pioneer settler of the region. The '''[[Davis School]]''' was a one-room of schoolhouse built in the 1850's at the east end of '''[[Thurston Road_(Springfield)\|Thurston]]'''. '''[[Thurston Elementary School\|Thurston Elementary]]''' was located on the northeast corner of [[66th Street_(Springfield)\|66th Street]] and Thurston Road and it operated until the 1930's.	+
