Springfield, County seat in southwestern Ohio, United States
Springfield stands at the intersection of three waterways: Mad River, Buck Creek, and Beaver Creek, located 45 miles west of Columbus and 25 miles northeast of Dayton.
James Demint, a Kentucky teamster, established Springfield in 1801, and the settlement became Clark County's administrative center through a competitive selection against New Boston in 1818.
The city gave birth to the 4-H organization in 1902 when A.B. Graham started the first Boys' and Girls' Agricultural Club to promote agricultural education.
The Frank Lloyd Wright-designed Westcott House, constructed in 1908, remains open for public tours as the only prairie-style residence in Ohio by the architect.
Springfield earned the nickname 'The Champion City' due to its agricultural equipment manufacturing heritage, particularly the production of Champion Farm Equipment.
