Springville, Clark County, Indiana

Springville was a small town that existed from 1798 to 1811 in Charlestown Township, Clark County, Indiana, United States.

A Frenchman established a trading post at the site in 1799; Indians called it Tullytown due to the prominent trader Charles Tully (pronounced two-lay).

Among the trades represented in the village were blacksmithing, a distillery, a doctor, hattery, surveying, and a wheelwright.

[2] On June 9, 1802, the county seat was moved to Jeffersonville, starting the demise of Springville.

A historical marker denotes its former location today, and three separate farms contain the land which was once Springville.
