Springville Utah Information: Springville is
known throughout the state as "Art City" because it
showcases all aspects of fine art. The city was founded in
1850 as Hobble Creek, named for horse hobbles found in the
stream that flows through the town. The founding of
Springville: 1850. Later, as the town grew, the name was
changed to Springville because of the many freshwater
springs in the area. The original name was not completely
lost, however, as the canyon stream and golf course have
retained the name Hobble Creek.
First explored in 1776 by Father Silvestre Velez de
Escalante, a Jesuit Priest, Springville was
originally settled in 1850 by eight pioneer families
who crossed the plains to Salt Lake Valley from the
East and were subsequently directed by Brigham Young
the Prophet for the Church of Jesus Christ of
Latter-day Saints. They were instructed to
settle 50 miles further south. Incorporated in
February 1853.
Springville is known as "Art City" due to its strong
development of the Arts. Springville hosts its
namesake art museum, the respected Springville
Museum of Art, Utah's oldest museum (circa 1937).
The museum, housed in a historic Spanish Colonial
Revival-style building, showcases collections of
many well-known artists, both local and national,
including collections of Utah Art, a major Soviet
collection, early Americana, and the European Steed
collection. Springville is the birthplace of noted
sculptor Cyrus Dalllin. The main street is
dotted with bronze statues, including several from
local sculptors Gary Price and Jeffer Decker.
One statue was a tribute to the local author Lee
Nelson.
Springville has a thriving community which has
experienced steady growth over the past ten years.
