Current-day Spring Hill, Tennessee was once occupied by the Chickasaw, Cherokee, Shawnee, Creek, and Choctaw Native American tribes. European settlers began migrating to the land around 1808. They saw great value in the rich soil and natural springs. By 1809, the city was officially established. Alfred Russell is credited with being the first person to construct a home on the land. As the town continued to expand, other homes, stately mansions, churches, and school buildings began to pop up. Even after enduring Civil War battles and a host of tornados, Spring Hill continued to grow. Today, this community that once boasted less than 500 settlers has now ballooned to nearly 50,000 residents.
