Info & History

About Springfield, Missouri

Info & History

History Louisiana Purchase The territory known as Missouri was included in the Louisiana Purchase of 1803. Soon after, the Delaware Native Americans received treaty land where Springfield’s Sequiota Park and the antique stores of Galloway Village stand today. Missouri became a state in 1821.

Founding In 1833, the legislature designated most of the southern portion of Missouri a single county. It was named for Revolutionary War Gen. Nathanael Greene, largely through John Polk Campbell’s campaign to honor a man he admired. A Tennessee homesteader, Campbell was the founder of Springfield, announcing his claim in 1829.

Springfield was incorporated in 1838.

Gen. Nathanael Greene Trail of Tears In 1838, the Cherokee were forcibly removed by the U.S. government from their homelands in Tennessee, Alabama, North Carolina and Georgia, then moved to the “Indian Territory.” The move became known as the Trail of Tears due to the thousands of deaths on the journey and those who perished as a result of the relocation.

The Trail of Tears traveled through the Springfield area via what is known today as the Old Wire Road. The Trail of Tears National Historic Trail auto tour route is along Interstate 44 westward to U.S. 160 (West Bypass in Springfield) and westward along U.S. 60.

TM

Old Wire Road The Old Wire Road, then known as the Military Road, served until the mid-1840s as a connection between Springfield and the garrison at Fort Smith, Arkansas. By 1858, the Butterfield Overland Stage began utilizing the road offering passage to California. Two years later, the region’s first telegraph line was strung along the road and it was dubbed the Telegraph or Wire Road.

The road proved vital during the Civil War; its most historic connection is to the Battle of Pea Ridge in Arkansas.

While portions of the road exist today, the most easily accessible is within Wilson’s Creek National Battlefield.

The Battle of Wilson’s Creek On August 10, 1861, army units clashed near Wilson’s Creek, the site of the first major battle west of the Mississippi River. The Battle of Wilson’s Creek involved about 5,400 Union troops and 12,000 Confederates. Gen. Nathaniel Lyon was killed,

Zagonyi’s Charge In an effort to run the Confederates out of the state, Maj. Gen. John C. Frémont headed toward Springfield in October 1861. Frémont became ill and turned his command over to Maj. Charles Zagonyi who led his troops into town, overcoming an ambush in the process and releasing Union prisoners in the first battle of Springfield. This engagement was the only Union victory in southwest Missouri.

Zagonyi Park at Mount Vernon Street and Park Avenue includes a monument commemorating the battle.

The Battle of Springfield For the two years following the Battle of Wilson’s Creek, possession of the city seesawed. Then in January 1863, Confederate forces under Gen. John S. Marmaduke advanced toward the town square and battle ensued. As evening approached, the Confederates withdrew.

The next morning, the Confederates left town and Gen. Marmaduke sent a message to Union forces asking for proper burials for Confederate casualties. The city would stay under Union control until the end of the war. A series of markers throughout downtown Springfield highlight historic locations and details of the battle.

See the map on the following page for marker locations and a sequential tour route. More information is available at springfield1863.org.

Springfield National Cemetery Two years after the war ended, the Springfield National Cemetery was created. The dead of both the North and the South are interred there, though separated by a low stone wall.

“Wild Bill” Hickok Shootout In the wake of the Civil War, Springfield helped give birth to the Wild West era. On July 21,1865, the town square was the site of the nation’s first recorded shootout.

The incident between “Wild Bill” Hickok and Davis Tutt was also significant due to the incredible marksmanship exhibited by Hickok that made him known worldwide.

Following a poker game, Tutt claimed Hickok owed him money and took his SpringfieldMo.org

Info & History

the first Union general to die in combat. The Confederates were victorious. Union troops fell back to Lebanon, then Rolla and regrouped. When they returned to Springfield, the Confederates had withdrawn. The battle led to increased military activity in Missouri and set the stage for the Battle of Pea Ridge in 1862.

The National Park Service designated Wilson’s Creek National Battlefield in 1960. The 1,750-acre battlefield remains greatly unchanged and stands as one of the most historically pristine battle sites in the country.

Arrival of the Railroad On April 21, 1870, the St. LouisSan Francisco line rolled through Springfield, establishing a new city, North Springfield, with Commercial Street as its downtown. Commercial and industrial diversification came with the railroads and strengthened the City of Springfield when the two towns merged 17 years later in 1887.

Officially recognized as the birthplace of Route 66, it was in Springfield on April 30, 1926, that officials first proposed the name of the new Chicago to Los Angeles highway. In 1938, Route 66 became the first completely paved transcontinental highway in America—the “Mother Springfield’s Route 66 in the 1920s Road”—stretching from the Great Lakes to the Pacific Coast.

Traces of the Mother Road are still visible in Springfield along Kearney Street, Glenstone Avenue, College and St. Louis streets and on Missouri 266 to Halltown.

Springfield mixes its past with the future as historic Route 66 borders the downtown Jordan Valley Park. The road that once was to be the east/west thoroughfare for travelers in a hurry to get to their destinations now serves sightseers who take a more relaxed pace and savor every detail.

When you’re cruising the route, stop in at the Route 66 Springfield Visitor Center at 815 E. St. Louis St. The Young Brothers Massacre In 1932, brothers Harry and Jennings Young were wanted by the law for a host of crimes, including murder. When officers arrived at the family farm just outside Springfield to arrest the brothers, a gunfight began. Six officers were killed in what remains the deadliest raid for officers in the nation.

The Young brothers escaped from the house. Many in the community locked down in fear while others milled about waiting for the latest news. Despite a nationwide manhunt, the men made it to Houston, Texas. Three days after the shootout, the men were cornered by police when they reportedly shot one another in a suicide pact. Some suspect it was the officers who did the shooting.

Bonnie & Clyde Kidnapping In 1933, Springfield police officer Tom A. Persell was kidnapped by the infamous Bonnie Parker and Clyde Barrow and their gangster sidekick, W.D. Jones – and lived to tell the tale. Persell, on a motorcycle, pulled over a suspicious car and Bonnie Parker and Clyde Barrow found himself facing a sawedoff shotgun. Bonnie and Clyde were on the lam and ordered Persell to get in the car and guide them out of town so they could dodge the cops. Six hours later, Persell was released unharmed near Joplin.

The Cobra Scare of 1953 As summer neared an end in 1953, a hooded cobra was killed near a pet shop in downtown Springfield. Many in the community were terrified as another ten cobras were found in the next couple months. Others, however, used the cobra incident SpringfieldMo.org • 800-678-8767 11

Springfield-Style Cashew Chicken A tasty dish with an Asian twist – Springfield-Style Cashew Chicken – has reigned in Springfield since 1963 when Leong’s Tea House opened its doors. The dish that is popular nationwide celebrated its 50th year in 2013.

After opening Leong’s Tea House, David Leong struggled to gain acceptance for the foods of his homeland in China.

Thus began his quest for a dish that would appease local residents’ taste buds. The result was fried chicken chunks covered with Chinese oyster sauce, cashews and chopped green onion. It was a hit with the locals and soon, versions of Springfield-Style Cashew Chicken appeared on menus coast to coast.

David Leong still lives in Springfield. His son, Wing Yee Leong, is a popular chef in the city. The family now owns Leong’s Asian Diner where, of course, Springfield-Style Cashew Wing Yee and David Leong with their signature Chicken is a mainstay on the menu. dish, Springfield-Style Cashew Chicken.
