24/7 Trauma and Biohazard Cleanup in Springville, UT

Springville is a city in Utah County, Utah, in the Provo–Orem metropolitan area, and its population was 35,268 in the 2020 census.

Springville was settled on September 18, 1850, by eight pioneer families led by Aaron Johnson, who had been directed by Brigham Young to settle south of the Salt Lake Valley, and it was incorporated in 1853.

The settlement was first called Hobble Creek, after a horse on an 1849 exploration team led by Oliver B. Huntington lost a pair of iron hobbles while camped next to the creek, and it was later renamed Springville for Fort Springville and the area's many freshwater springs.

Springville is nicknamed “Art City” for its strong arts community, and it is home to the Springville Museum of Art, Utah's oldest museum for the visual fine arts, founded around 1937 and housed in a historic Spanish Colonial Revival-style building.

Springville is the birthplace of noted sculptor Cyrus Dallin, who was born there in 1861, and its Main Street is dotted with bronze statues, including works by local sculptors Gary Price and Jeff Decker.

In the 2020 census, Springville had 10,418 households, a median age of 28.5 years, and about a third of its residents under the age of 18.

Springville is a bedroom community for commuters working in the Provo–Orem and Salt Lake City metropolitan areas, and its neighboring cities include Spanish Fork and Mapleton.

Springville lies on the west side of the Wasatch Mountain Range, about 3 miles east of the average shoreline of Utah Lake and almost entirely east of Interstate 15.

Art City Days, held each year in early June, is one of the first city celebrations of the summer season in Utah Valley, with a parade, carnival, hot air balloons, contests, sporting events, and fireworks.

Springville also hosts the Springville World Folkfest each July at the outdoor amphitheater in Spring Acres Arts Park, where folk dance groups from around the world perform and stay with local host families.
