Spring Grove is a borough in York County, Pennsylvania, United States.

The site of Spring Grove was laid out in 1747 on the banks of Codorus Creek, midway between York and Hanover, by a surveyor for the Penns.

Originally, Spring Grove was a part of Paradise Township and was contained within the boundaries of Lancaster County.

York County was formed in 1749 and Jackson Township, including Spring Grove, in 1853.

The early German and English woodchoppers who flocked to this first Pennsylvania iron industry west of the Susquehanna River were the forebears of today's community.

By 1851, however, the iron business had been suspended, and its buildings were converted to the manufacturing of paper.

Once again local resources, wood and water, were largely responsible for the location of this industry in the Spring Grove area.

In August 2018, Glatfelter announced an agreement to sell its Specialty Papers division, which includes the Spring Grove mill, to private investment firm Lindsay Goldberg for $360 million, with the sale to close before 2019.
