THE CITY TODAY
Springfield, Massachusetts was settled in 1636, as a result of the efforts of William Pyn- chon and a band of faithful followers who sought the fertile valleys in this part of the coun- try, for homesteading purposes. It was made a town May 25, 1636, and incorporated a city May 25, 1852.
The city has grown to a community having a population estimated to be 168,000. Springfield is 99 miles from Boston, 103 miles from Albany, and 135 miles from New York City. Im- mediately surrounding Springfield are numerous smaller towns and cities, including West Springfield, Longmeadow, East Longmeadow, Wilbraham, Ludlow, and Chicopee.
Springfield has, since the last part of the eighteenth century, been continuously developing as a manufacturing center, although surrounded by communities agricultural in character. The industry of the community is of varied quality. The skill of workmen to be found here has developed the popularity of the community as an industrial section for the manufacture

of many varied products. For the most part, raw materials and supplies are transported to the city. The location of the city nearly equidistant from the three large centers-Boston, Albany and New York-is an enviable one.
The rolling hills rising from the Connecticut River Valley provide excellent residential sections.
The prevailing meteorological conditions give Springfield typically New England seasons with charming summers and cold winters.
SERVICE INSTITUTIONS
Springfield is fortunate in having a group of public utility organiations which aid, in the development of the community. Under the municipality, there operates a Springfield Water Works the activities of which provide the community with excellent drinking water, piped to the city from the eastern foot-hills of the Berkshires. An excellent reservoir system of great capacity provides a flow adequate to care for the city for many years to come.
