Description
English: The seal of the City of Springfield, Massachusetts, as rendered by Thomas Chubbuck, an engraver who lived in the city in mid-19th century. The seal itself was originally designed by a die-caster and medallion cutter Richard Paine and adopted by the city in 1871. The original official ordinance reads:

"No. 29. An Ordinance to Establish a City Seal.
1. Description of the seal.
Section 1. The design hereto annexed, as executed by Richard Paine, giving a view of the city, shall be the device of the city seal, the inscription being as follows, to wit : 'Springfield, organized a town May 14, 1636, O. S., a city, May 26, 1852."
