Springdale is a town in Stevens County, Washington, United States. The population was 285 at the 2010 census.[5]

History

Springdale was originally called Squire City.[6] The present site of Springdale was a wilderness until about 1886, when Mr. John Shriner and Mr. Charles O. Squire arrived at about the same time. Squire erected the first sawmill in 1887.[6] Once Mr. Squire finalized his homestead,[7] he platted the area on 29 November 1889, which he called Squire City. He became the first postmaster in December 1889, while the town was still called Squire City.[8]

Mark P. Sheffer was the first merchant. He brought in material by horse-drawn freight wagons prior to the arrival on the railroad.[6]

In 1889, the Spokane Falls & Northern Railroad (SF&NRR) was completed to the area and the depot was called Springdale.[6] Springdale was the lunch stop between Spokane and Northport on the SF&NRR.[9] By 1892, the community was named Springdale.

Springdale was officially incorporated on February 9, 1903.[10]

The Springdale Reformer, started by Elmer Burrows, was published from 1907 to 1923.[11]

The entire business section of Springdale was destroyed by fire, 9 July 1908.
