About Us
Welcome to Springfield! We certainly hope that you can come and visit our town and surrounding areas.
Springfield was incorporated in 1838 and abounds with history. The Livingston Parish Courthouse in the
1800's still stands in Springfield. It was built in 1835 and served this booming community that
harvested cypress lumber, cotton and then transported it via schooner, down the Natalbany River to New
Orleans.
The Springfield cemetery is the resting place of many civil war veterans. We celebrate our
heritage every March with Civil War Re-enactment held in the heart of Springfield.
Springfield is also the home to many strawberry farmers. Even though nearby Ponchatoula hosts their
annual Strawberry Festival, the best strawberries most always come from Springfield. Local farmers
make their tasty berries readily available, and they host visitors to their farms. Springfield is a
scenic and friendly community.
We are surrounded by beautiful waterways such as: the Tickfaw River, Natalbany River and Blood River.
Just 7 miles from our corporate limits is one of Louisiana's finest state parks, the "Tickfaw State
Park". Camping and lodging are available.
Beautiful wooded forests and flowing bayous are excellent for scenic and serene visits. Nearby to our
town is a championship golf resort, the "Carter Plantation" Golf Community. If you love golf, you must
play at the Carter Plantation. If you're looking for a special place to live, Carter Plantation Golf
Community is superior. We know that you will enjoy Springfield!
