About Springfield, CO

The town was named after Springfield, Missouri. Frank and Jim Tipton settled in Las Animas, Colorado in 1886. In 1888 or 1889, Jim and Frank secured the title to 80 acres which was the original townsite. They did this using a "soldiers script" and named the town after Springfield, Mo, since this is where the Tipton brothers had come from.
