Springboro, Ohio is a city with a rich history and plentiful recreational offerings. Settled in 1796, the city didn't officially become a town until 1815. Unsurprisingly named for the fresh springs common to the area, the city played an important role in Ohio's early mill economy, serving as the site for a mill and woolens factory. During the Civil War, Springboro was a stop on the Underground Railroad. To this day, the city's involvement in the Underground Railroad is proudly honored with an annual festival and markers. Currently, the city is best known for its green spaces, historic district, and country club.
