West Springfield: The Big E and the River's West Bank
The Eastern States Exposition, known as the Big E, is held annually in West Springfield on a 175-acre fairground along the Connecticut River. It is the largest agricultural fair in the eastern United States, running for 17 days each September and drawing over a million visitors. The fairground includes Avenue of States, where each New England state maintains a replica colonial-era building.
West Springfield sits directly across the Connecticut River from Springfield, connected by the Memorial Bridge. The town developed its own commercial identity along Riverdale Street and Memorial Avenue, with car dealerships, restaurants, and retail businesses serving the greater Springfield metro area. The Merrick neighborhood near the river retains older housing stock, while the western sections toward Westfield have a more suburban layout.
The town was originally the western part of Springfield and incorporated separately in 1774. Mittineague Park provides athletic fields and picnic areas. West Springfield operates under a mayor-council form of government, unusual for a community its size in Massachusetts. The Connecticut River floodplain through the town includes wetlands and agricultural land that persist between the commercial strips.
The Storrowton Village Museum, within the Big E fairgrounds, preserves a collection of historic New England buildings moved to the site and arranged as a colonial village. The Town Common on Park Street has a more intimate scale than the fairgrounds. West Springfield's schools serve a diverse student body, and the town's proximity to Springfield and the I-91 corridor provides access to the broader Pioneer Valley economy and healthcare facilities.
