Lane County

The Lane County population in 1890 was 15,198; in 1900, 19,604; and in 1910, 33,780 (Spicer n.d.:9).

Cox House is built in the Washburne Historical District. James A. Cox is most likely its builder.

By 1910 the Portland, Eugene and Eastern Railway Company, an interurban line, was completed between Eugene and Springfield, replacing the stage. It cost 6 cents to ride the streetcar to Eugene. The streetcar ran up Main Street to 10th Street. It was an electric railroad that gave the city access to Portland. Its operation continued until 1926 (Mills 1943:391-392)

In 1910 Springfield’s population was 1,838 (Spicer n.d.:9). The city’s boundaries continued to expand with various additions annexed in 1889, 1890, 1897, 1905 and 1909-1915.
