Springfield Overview

Located in southwestern Massachusetts, and resting on the banks of the Connecticut River, is the city of Springfield. It is the largest city in Western New England and the third largest in Massachusetts. Just 24 miles north of Hartford, the capital of Connecticut, the two cities make up an area known as the Pioneer Valley. Springfield is considered the urban, economic, and cultural center of Western New England, with a high concentration of corporate businesses, universities, and museums.
