There are 67 Springfields in the US.

Now, I'm not a countamatician, but that sounds like more than the 50 states (and fourteen territories).

Apparently Ohio has 11 townships called Springfield. Googling it, I see a site for one in Clark County, one in Hamilton County, one in Richland County, one in Williams County, one in Summit County, and that’s as far as I felt like going.
