Excerpt from Picturesque Springfield, New Jersey: One of the First Places for Home Building Within Easy Reach of New York
During the great advance that has taken place in values in all portions of the State of New Jersey, and the many new towns that have sprung into existence, springfield has done little to attract settlers from New York. This has been partly due to the fact that her property has been owned by people who have been content to live quietly on their estates without attempting to convert them into villa plots and building lots, but more partiarly to the fact that though but a mile from the railroad station, the roads were sandy and poor.
The beauty of this quiet old town, however, with its quaint buildings, wide. Sleepy streets, shaded by noble elms, its verdant surrounding meadows and willow banked streams, has each year been the means of attracting new comers, and now that I'nion County has spent upwards of in macadamizing its roads, which, together with those of the famous Orange district, are noted from Maine to California as being the best system of roads in the United States, a transformation has taken place.
