Spring Hill Community

Dr. George W. Hill is recognized as the founder of this town, the oldest in Navarro County Texas. In the late 1840s families living there included the Treadwells, Sidwells, Matthews, Ritchies and Onstotts. In 1860 Spring Hill and Dresden were the only post offices in the western part of the county. Some residents moved to the new town of Dawson to the south in 1881 with the coming of the railroad.
