Springdale

In a lush valley of towering trees, pure spring water, and a winding river ideal for travel and trade, early settlers laid the groundwork for what would become Springdale Borough.

These pioneers built with timber from the forest, hunted deer and bear for food and clothing, and gathered nature's gifts—berries, wild grapes, and acorns to feed their livestock. Their fields yielded crops to sustain growing families, while the land quietly held untapped riches.

Below the soil lay coal, sand, gravel, and limestone—resources that would later fuel industry and shape the region's prosperity. With abundant water to power mills and factories, Springdale evolved from frontier clearing to industrial cornerstone.
