Springtown (formerly, Confederate Corners)[2] is an unincorporated community in Monterey County, California, United States.

[1] Originally Springtown or Spring Town, the place was named Confederate Corners after some Southerners settled there in the late 1860s.

[4] The place is the inspiration for the fictional small town "Rebel Corners" in John Steinbeck's novel The Wayward Bus.

It is located 2 miles (3.2 km) south-southwest of Salinas, at the corner of California State Route 68 and Hitchcock Road.

The Monterey County Board of Supervisors voted in support of the name change.
