Springfield is the capital of the U.S. state of Illinois and the county seat and largest city of Sangamon County. The city's population was 114,394 at the 2020 census, which makes it the state's seventh most-populous city. Springfield was settled by European-Americans in the late 1810s, around the time Illinois became a state. The most famous historic resident was Abraham Lincoln, who lived in Springfield from 1837 until 1861, when he went to the White House as President of the United States. Major tourist attractions include multiple sites connected with Lincoln including the Abraham Lincoln Presidential Library and Museum, Lincoln Home National Historic Site, Lincoln-Herndon Law Offices State Historic Site and the Lincoln Tomb at Oak Ridge Cemetery. Springfield's economy is dominated by government jobs, plus the related lobbyists and firms that deal with the state and county governments and justice system, and health care and medicine. Lying in Downstate Illinois, a part of Tornado Alley, tornadoes have hit the region on a few occasions. Lake Springfield, a large artificial lake owned by the City Water, Light & Power company (CWLP), supplies the city with recreation and drinking water. Weather is fairly typical for middle latitude locations, with four distinct seasons including hot summers and cold winters. Spring and summer weather is like that of most Midwestern cities; thunderstorms may occur in late spring. The first cabin was built in 1820, by John Kelly, after discovering the area to be plentiful of deer and wild game. The Potawatomi Trail of Death passed through here in 1838. The Native Americans were forced west to Indian Territory by the government's Indian Removal policy.
History
Springfield is the primary city name, but also Andrew, Archer, Bissell, Bradfordton, Clear Lake, Riddle Hill are acceptable city names or spellings, Devereux Heights on the other hand no longer accepted or obsolete and are no longer used as a designation. The official name is City of Springfield. Settlers originally named this community as "Calhoun, after Senator John C. Calhoun of South Carolina, expressing their cultural ties. The land that Springfield now occupies was visited first by trappers and fur traders who came to the Sangamon River in 1818. Abraham Lincoln arrived in the Springfield area in 1831 when he was a young man, but he did not live in the city until 1837. In 1837 Lincoln moved to Springfield, where he lived and worked for the next 24 years as a lawyer and politician. Lincoln delivered his Lyceum address in Springfield. His farewell speech when he left for Washington is a classic in American oratory. Springfield Whigs tend to validate several expectations of party characteristics as they were largely native-born, either in New England or Kentucky, professional or agricultural in occupation, and devoted to partisan organization. By the 1840s, Springfield began to be dominated by Democratic politicians. Waves of new European immigrants had changed the city's demographics and they became aligned with the Democrats, who made more effort to assist and connect with them. Widespread migration in the 19th-century U.S. produced frequent population turnover within Midwestern communities, which influenced patterns of voter turnout and office-holding. Migration was more selective by occupation, wealth, birthplace, and age. Longer-term residents tended to be wealthier, more skilled, and socially and economically advantaged. Persisters represented a small, socially, homogeneous, politically active and politically active community. Members of a tightly knit and exclusive "core community" who controlled local political affairs.

The cost of testing the sirens failed during an April 2006 test shortly after the city was struck by two F2 tornadoes; no one died as a result of the storm system. The tornado that hit the city on that day cost the city $1.2 million to repair and replace its sirens.
