History

The present site of Springdale was a wilderness until about 1886, when Mr. John Shriner and Mr. Charles O. Squire arrived at about the same time. Squire erected the first sawmill in 1887. [6] Once Mr. Squire finalized his homestead, [7] he platted the area on November 29, 1889, which he called Squire City. He became the first postmaster in December 1889 and named the town "Squires City." [8]

Mark P. Sheffer was the first merchant. He brought in material by horse-drawn freight wagons prior to the arrival on the railroad. [6]

In 1889, the Spokane Falls & Northern Railway (SF&N) was completed to the area and the depot was called Springdale. [6] Springdale was the lunch stop between Spokane and Northport on the SF&NRR. [9] Sometime before 1892, residents petitioned to have the town's name changed to "Springdale." While the exact reason for this is unknown, the town is built over a series of subterranean streams, many of which emerge from the ground as springs. [10] Springdale was officially incorporated on February 9, 1903. [11]

The Springdale Reformer, started by Elmer Burrows, was published from 1907 to 1923. [12]

The entire business section of Springdale was destroyed by fire, July 9, 1908.
