Named after a spring that once flowed near present day West 4th Street, Springfield was initially advertised as a planned suburb of Jacksonville in 1871 by John H. Norton, one of the city’s first professional developers. In 1987, the neighborhood was officially placed on the National Register of Historic Places, due to possessing some of Jacksonville’s best examples of architecture developed between the early 1880s and 1920s.
