   It should be noted that Springfield is no where near the most common   
   place name in the US. Years ago, I did some research on this and wrote   
   up my results for Word Ways magazine. The most common name was either   
   Fairview (256) or Midway (211), depending on how you counted. The name   
   in the most states is Riverside (46 states). link to the article (pdf)
