2006
Climate Springfield's climate has few extremes and is characteristic of the north central region of the U.S. Rainfall is rather evenly distributed throughout the year. This, with moderate temperatures, helps to make the Mad River Valley a rich agricultural region. Extreme temperatures are usually short in duration.
Precipitation: The average total precipitation is about 43 inches per year. Snowfall: Cold, polar air, flowing across the Great Lakes, causes much cloudiness during the winter and is accompanied by frequent snow flurries adding little to the total snowfall.
Each year's frost free period extends about 6 months. The last spring freeze is usually recorded in mid-April. The first fall frost is recorded in late October with some instances of late November recordings.
Extremes: Temperatures of zero or below will be experienced in about four years out of five, while 100 degrees or higher will be recorded in about one year out of 20. Extreme temperatures are usually of short duration.

History Springfield, a medium-size community and governmental seat of Clark County, is located in the southwest corner of Ohio. The surrounding terrain is relatively flat accentuated by rolling hills. Prehistoric mound builders were probably the first residents of Clark County. Traces of their structures can still be found in nearby Enon where the second largest conical mound, the Knob Prairie Mound, can be found. John Toland, born in 1750, came to America with the British Army during the Revolutionary War, then deserted and joined the American forces. Toland’s funeral was the first military funeral held in Clark County and he is buried in the Columbia Street Cemetery. George Rogers Clark, for whom the county is named, led a band of Kentuckians including Simon Kenton into this territory and defeated the Shawnee Indians at the Battle of Piqua on August 8, 1780. One member of the tribe was a 12year-old boy named Tecumseh who later became a famous Shawnee leader dedicated to fighting whites. Born in Clark County, he was emissary to all Indians of the Northwestern and Southwestern territories. A member of the Clark Expedition, John Paul, returned to the area and built his home in 1790. He is believed to be the first white settler to locate in what became Clark County. The first crop harvested in the county was corn, in 1797 by David Lowry, who transported it to New Orleans by flatboat. The Treaty of Greenville in 1795 between the Indians and General Anthony Wayne, in which the Indians agreed to stop hostile acts toward settlers, generally opened this area for settlement. Indian hostility in Ohio ended with General William Henry Harrison's victory at Tippecanoe in 1811. It began the opening of the Northwest Territory. One of the county's early settlers was James Demint, who erected a cabin at the confluence of Mad River and Lagonda (Buck) Creek in 1799. It was on his land that a plat of the city was made in 1801 by surveyor, James Dougherty. The same year, Griffith Foos built the first tavern, which became a famous stagecoach stop. In 1804, the first post office was recorded for Springfield. Simon Kenton built a gristmill and distillery where later the old International Harvester (Navistar) plant was built. This plant has now been demolished and the International Truck & Engine Corporation is located on Rt. 72 north (Urbana Road). The 412 square miles that became Clark County were mapped out of parts of Champaign, Greene and Madison counties in 1817. The first meeting of the Clark County Commission was held on April 25, 1818. The 1820 census showed a total population of 9,535. By 1827, the tiny
frontier hamlet was granted a city charter by the State of Ohio in 1850. "Springfield" was named by Simon Kenton's wife for its many springs and abundant waters. The Old National Road was completed through Springfield in 1839 and the railroads of the 1840s provided profitable business to the area. At the turn of the century, 54 passenger trains arrived daily in Springfield. Agriculture and then industry flourished. By the beginning of the Civil War, the two had joined forces to help Springfield become one of the world's leading manufacturers of agricultural equipment. Navistar (International Truck and Engine Corporation) previously International Harvester Company, is noteworthy in this regard. The manufacturer of farm machinery became the leading local industry and, the second largest in the world, after a native, William Whitely, invented the combined selfraking reaper and mower in 1856. This machine was an improvement over any known farm machinery and was in great demand after the Civil War. Another native, James Leffel, invented the first practical water turbine in 1862 and began manufacturing it in his Springfield foundry. In the 1880s, P. P. Mast began publishing "Farm and Fireside." Although used initially to advertise his farm machinery, it soon became a leading periodical and was the basis for the Crowell-Collier Publishing Company. In the 1890s, school teacher and superintendent, A. B. Graham, began supervising agricultural extension clubs for boys and girls. In 1902, he organized the clubs on a national basis, the beginning of the 4-H Club movement. In 1845, Wittenberg University was established by the English Lutheran Synod of Ohio and has grown to be a leading educational, cultural and intellectual force in Springfield and the Midwest. Other notable historical facts: Clark County manufactured ten different automobiles during the 1900s; two beers, Red Head and Blue Head; two Ohio governors were Clark County natives, Asa Bushnell and James Rhodes; famous entertainers call Clark County home, Lillian Gish, Jonathan Winters and John Legend. In 1983, Newsweek magazine chose Springfield for its 50th Anniversary issue that dealt with the "Most Typical City in the U.S. - Springfield, Ohio." The Clark County of today is very different from the one created in 1817. The population has grown from 9,533 to 137,206 in the 196 years since the county was established. 2013
