Springville was a small town that existed from 1798-1811 in Charlestown Township,
Clark County, Indiana, United States. It was named for the springs in the area
that provided a good fresh water supply. A Frenchman had established a trading post
at the site in 1799, Indians called it Tullytown due to the prominent trader Charles Tully.

When Clark County was established, Springville was named the county seat on April 7,
1801, creating the first court in the county. On June 9, 1802 the county seat was moved
to Jeffersonville, starting the demise of Springville.
