WEST SPRINGFIELD.

    Situated opposite the City of Springfield, in the centre of Hampden County,
West Springfield extends along the west shore of the Connecticut River. It has
an area of 9,427 acres, a population of 6,125, with an appraised value of
$3,810,510. In February, 1774, it was detached from Springfield, and now, at the
time of this directory going to press, the annexation of the town to Springfield
is being seriously agitated. Connected by electric cars with Springfield, a
public library with over four thousand volumes, its pleasant homes, its shady
and well-kept streets and avenues, its schools and churches, it is a most
delightful place in which to live.
