History
[edit | edit source]Springfield is located in the west central portion of Jim Wells County, Texas. San Diego, Texas is roughly 3 miles (4.8 km) to the northwest, and Alice, Texas is 7 miles (11 km) to the southeast. The 1880s construction of the Texas Mexican Railway led to the establishment of Springfield, where a post office operated from 1909 to 1918. Population estimates for the community were at 100 in 1910, but only eight individuals lived there in 1914. The community continued to have a school at least as late as the 1930s. The Handbook of Texas Online describes the state of Springfield in the 1980s as a "dispersed rural community".[1]
