Springboro History
In 1815, the present day Springboro was founded by Jonathan Wright, a relative of the Wright Brothers. At that time, the area was named as Springborough. Historically, Springboro was famous for the strong Anti-Slavery opinion of its residents. They helped slaves escape through the Underground Railroad system. In order to enrich this Anti-Slavery opinion, Achilles Pugh published a local paper known as "The Philanthropist." On October 17, 1999, the city of Springboro established an Ohio Underground Railroad Historic Marker.
