Springfield |
It's been said (by Bruce Townley, among others)
that
every state
in the USA has a Springfield.
This
isn't
true; 35
states have a Springfield
or a close cousin;
but
the
following states are Springfield-deficient:
Alaska,
Arizona, Connecticut, Hawaii, Iowa, Kansas,
Montana, Nevada, New Mexico, North Dakota,
Oklahoma, Rhode Island, Utah, Washington, Wyoming.
(Data from searches on MapQuest)
To make up for this,
some states have more than
one Springfield; the number if more than one
is
shown
in parentheses in the map links below.
According to MapQuest
there are 52 Springfields,
five West Springfields, four East Springfields,
four North Springfields, one South Springfield,
one Springfield Crossroads, one Springfield Plantation,
and one Springfield Gardens (not too far from me
in Long Island, New York).
If you live in Springfield
and would like to send a
postcard to be featured on this page, please email
me.
