Spring Hill is a ridge in the central part of the city of Somerville, Massachusetts, United States, and the residential neighborhood that sits atop it.

Present-day Central, Lowell, and Cedar Streets trace their origins to the mid-17th century, but few other roads broke the open space.

The well-known Boston surveyor Alexander Wadsworth helped Brastow successfully lay out this subdivision to attract substantial homes on country estates for privileged suburbanites that held proprietary and managerial jobs.

By the end of the 19th century, the street grid had reached its present form, and the neighborhood filled with predominantly multi-family homes.

Growth was fueled by the extension of streetcar lines from Lechmere Square and industrialization along Somerville Avenue and the Fitchburg Railroad.
