History
Springhills was originally known as Middleburg,
and under the latter name was laid out in 1832. When the post office was to be opened, it was discovered that there was already a
Middleburg in
Logan County, Ohio, and so the town was renamed Spring Hills for its location near natural springs and at the base of hills.
