The heart of the city…

Historic downtown Mansfield started at the intersection of Main and Broad Streets in 1856. This is where Ralph Man and Julian Feild built a three story grist mill, which produced flour and
meal for the area. At the same time, Feild opened a general store across the street. Thus began the nucleus of the city of Mansfield. By 1860, the first post office opened – Feild was the postmaster. The community prospered, and combined the names of its founders to “Mansfeild” – a series of misspellings over the years resulted in the conventional spelling of “Mansfield”. the town incorporated in 1909 and continued to be a hub for the surrounding farmland.

The historic downtown area is still a vibrant shopping area. It offers professional services, specialty shops, restaurants and food stores, and the original Farr Best Theater! A stop at the Mansfield Historic Museum/Society, located at the intersection that started it all – Main and Broad – will help you appreciate where the town came from, and where they’re headed!
