Discover Springfield

The Shawnee were the original inhabitants of the Springfield area. Their major village of Peckuwe, or Piqua, home to about 3,000 people of the Pekowi and Kispoko divisions, stood less than four miles southwest of the present city, and Tecumseh lived there from 1777 to 1780. Allied with the British and with Lenape, Wyandot and Mingo refugees, the Shawnee raided into Kentucky during the Revolution. On August 8, 1780, American troops under General George Rogers Clark attacked Piqua, destroying the village, and spent two days burning as much as 500 acres of corn around it. The Shawnee and their allies ceded the area to the United States in the Treaty of Greenville in 1795.

More about Springfield

Springfield was founded in 1801 by James Demint, a former teamster from Kentucky, who named it for Springfield, Massachusetts. When Clark County was created in 1818, the legislature chose Springfield over New Boston as county seat by two votes. The National Road reached the city in 1838, and for about a decade Springfield was its western terminus, the "Town at the End of the Pike," while politicians argued over its route. Manufacturing flourished in the mid and late 19th century under industrialists such as Oliver S. Kelly, James Leffel, P. P. Mast, Benjamin H. Warder and Asa S. Bushnell. After Springfield native William Whiteley invented a self-raking reaper and mower in 1856, farm machinery became the leading industry, and the city became known as the Champion City for the Champion brand of farm equipment, whose maker joined International Harvester in 1902. Mast's Farm & Fireside magazine, started in 1877, grew into the Crowell-Collier Publishing Company. Sources Wikipedia: Springfield, Ohio
