Springdale is a town in Stevens County, Washington, United States.

[3] 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.

He brought in material by horse-drawn freight wagons prior to the arrival on the railroad.

[4] In 1889, the Spokane Falls & Northern Railway (SF&N) was completed to the area and the depot was called Springdale.

[4] Springdale was the lunch stop between Spokane and Northport on the SF&NRR.

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

According to the United States Census Bureau, the town has a total area of 1.14 square miles (2.95 km2), all of it land.

About 24.7% of families and 34.1% of the population were below the poverty line, including 45.1% of those under the age of eighteen and 5.9% of those sixty-five or over.
