Springfield, now the third-largest city in the state, was once an area favored by Native Americans for its natural beauty, mild climate, abundant timber, and excellent hunting and fishing.

Images depict businesses such as the Springfield Wagon Company, which became ¿king¿ of U.S. wagon manufacturing, and the ¿Frisco,¿ whose operational hub was housed in Springfield, bringing commercial and industrial diversification. In 1926, the city became the birthplace of the Mother Road, Route 66, which firmly established Springfield¿s right to the name ¿Queen City of the Ozarks.¿
