Springville Wedding
Springville is a city in Utah County, Utah, United States. The population was 20,424 at the 2000 census and by 2004 had been estimated at 21,507. Springville calls itself "Art City"; there is a very large amateur art show annually. [1]First explored in 1776 by Father Silvestre Vlez de Escalante, a Jesuit Priest, Springville was originally settled by eight pioneer families in 1850. Incorporated in February 1853, the city was first called Hobble Creek by the early pioneers because their horses were often hobbled (by loosely tying their front feet together) and left along the stream to graze in the lush grass. If the horses wandered into the creek, the hobbles came off in the water. Thus, the settlement earned its original name. 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.
