This article appears in Volume V28, Page 560 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: WAT-WIL
WEST SPRINGFIELD , a township of
Hampden
  county,
Massachusetts
 , U.S.A., on the Connecticut river, opposite
Springfield
 . Pop. (189o) 5077; (1900) 7105 (1501 foreign-born); (1910) 9224. Area, about 18 sq. m. The township is served by the Boston & Albany railway, and by interurban
electric railways to
Holyoke
  and Hartford. The
principal
  villages are Merrick and West
Springfield
  on the Connecticut river and Mittineague on the Westfield river. West Springfield was originally a
part
  of Springfield. The first
settlement
  was not made, however, until about 1653, and there were few settlers until after King Philip's War (1676). In 1696 West Springfield was organized as a
separate
  parish, and in 1774 was made a
separate
  township.
Holyoke
  was set off from it in 1860, and
Agawam in 1855.
