According to a 1977 Neighborhood Atlas, "Spring Hill received its name from the many springs in the area. Germans immigrated there from 1850 to 1920, giving the neighborhood a Bavarian atmosphere. Local street names include Rhine, Woessner, Haslage, Zoller and Goehring. In 1959 ACTION-Housing opened Spring Hill Gardens, a moderate rent, racially integrated, 209-unit apartment project at Buente and Rhine Streets. Spring Hill Gardens was Pittsburgh's first multi-family housing project backed by the Federal Housing Authority."

The neighborhood's population has changed over time. A 1974 report stated that the neighborhood held 8,000 people around 1970. This declined to 4,900 in 1974 and then to 2,900 in 2010.
