History of Springboro

Settled as early as 1796, Springboro was founded in 1815 by Jonathan Wright as "Springborough." Jonathan Wright's father, Joel, was a surveyor who plotted Columbus, Dayton, and Louisville, Kentucky. Springboro was predominantly Quaker during its early years. By the 1830s, two mills and a woolen factory in Springboro had been built up on the abundant springs for which the town was named.As a stop on the Underground Railroad, Springboro played a role by providing hiding places for escaping slaves. On October 17, 1999, Springboro was the first city to erect an Ohio Underground Railroad Historic Marker. The dedication was part of the 4th Annual Ohio Underground Railroad Summit.Beginning in the late 1990s, Springboro experienced population and economic growth due to its position between the Cincinnati and Dayton metropolitan areas. Growth in Springboro led to a new highway exit being created at I-75 & Austin Boulevard and the construction of three new schools by the SCCSD in the 2000s. The mayor of Springboro is John H. Agenbroad, who was reelected in 2019. The vast majority of new development occurred to the east of SR-741 (Main Street).
