West Springfield

The Connecticut River defines the setting of West Springfield — its broad valley places the town opposite Springfield and has long focused transport, trade and settlement along the western bank. West Springfield forms part of the Springfield metropolitan area, where road and rail routes meet a dense urban core and the lower Connecticut River Valley. The Eastern States Exposition, established in 1916, is based here; every autumn its grounds host The Big E, the fair representing all six New England states. Beyond the fair season, this is a working Massachusetts community closely tied to its riverfront position and regional connections.
