Springfield was first settled in the early 1700’s, and during the Revolutionary War Washington had his General Headquarters in Springfield from June 7 to June 22, 1780. And if you've ever heard the historic saying, "Give Them Watts, Boys!", it was in Springfield that these words were first uttered. On June 23, 1780, "The Battle of Springfield" was fought. The British slowly pushed the Militia back to the second bridge over Van Winkle’s Brook on Morris Avenue, just west of the present day Mountain Avenue. During the heat of the battle, Reverend James Caldwell, Chaplain of Colonel Elias Dayton’s Regiment, whose wife had been murdered 16 days before, passed out Watts Hymnals from the Presbyterian Church (which still stands today) for use as wadding. His cry of “Give Them Watts, Boys”, has lived on the become a Motto of that conflict. The British goal of reaching Morristown was thwarted and the Battle of Springfield marked the last invasion of the British into New Jersey and removed the danger of final defeat of the Continental forces.
