Utah, United States
Springville, city, Utah county, north-central Utah, U.S., in the Utah Valley, east of Utah Lake and west of the Wasatch Range. It was founded in 1850 by Mormons, who named it Hobble Creek after their horses lost their hobbles in a stream. The name was later changed to Springville because of the abundant water supply. The city is the trade centre for irrigated farmlands and has diversified industries (steel, tar and chemical works, and road construction). Several fish hatcheries are nearby. The Springville Museum of Art (1937) houses a notable collection of paintings and statuary. Inc. 1853. Pop. (2000) 20,424; (2010) 29,466.
