Brief History  (For the Comprehensive History of Springdale 1787 - 1987, go to History Online)

The City of Springdale was first founded in 1806 as the Town of Springfield. In 1839, the town was officially incorporated as a village under that name. During later years however, the original incorporation was lost and the village was then re-incorporated in 1959 under the name of Springdale. A few years later, in 1971, the village became the City of Springdale .

The City of Springdale is located in northern Hamilton County, approximately twenty miles from downtown Cincinnati. Bisected by I-275 and bordered by I-75, it is the home of a highly developed commercial/industrial community, as well as stable, well maintained residential neighborhoods. The population of the city as of the 1990 census was 10,621, but boasts a daytime population of more than 50,000.

In 1992 the city constructed a new Municipal Building at 11700 Springfield Pike.
