Memorial Square is a neighborhood located in Springfield, Massachusetts.
A predominantly Puerto Rican neighborhood with several parks, Memorial Square is within walking distance of Springfield's three nationally ranked hospitals, Baystate Medical Center, Shriner's Children's Hospital, and Mercy Medical.
Always a neighborhood of immigrants, Memorial Square was a primarily Greek neighborhood from the Industrial Revolution until the 1980s. The architecturally notable St. George's Greek Orthodox Cathedral, founded in 1907 and built in 1940, reflects Memorial Square's past as a Greek enclave.
A portion of the neighborhood was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1977 as the Memorial Square District.
