Springfield (toponym)

Springfield is a common name and known, in part, for being a common place-name in the United States. According to the USGS there are currently 34 populated places named Springfield in the United States — at least four in Wisconsin, and no fewer than nine Springfield townships in Pennsylvania. On the other hand, database studies suggest that there are many more common place-names, including Fairview, Midway, and Oak Grove; accounting for all the place-names in the United States is made difficult by database ambiguities, but the reality seems to be that the popularity of "Springfield" relative to other names is more legend than fact.
