About

Like much of Utah, the settlement of Springville had its roots in the migration of members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. On September 2, 1850, a large company of Latter-day Saints, led by the capable, captain Aaron Johnson, arrived in Salt Lake City. This company of 135 wagons had come from Council Bluffs, Iowa and had been on the trail since June 7. Soon after their arrival in Salt Lake, Brigham Young asked Johnson to take a small group of families to settle a site that had previously been selected in south Utah Valley. On September 18, 1850, the first settlers set up camp in their new home. Several other members of the company arrived over the next few weeks.

In 1849 the City was originally named Hobble Creek, but as the town grew, the name was changed to Springville and was incorporated on February 13, 1853. The canyon stream and golf course have retained the name of Hobble Creek.
