History

Spring City was first known as "Allred Settlement". The original settlers in 1852 were under the leadership of James Allred and most of them were his family members. When an LDS ward was organized there in 1853, Ruben W. Allred was appointed the first bishop. The settlement was abandoned in the summer of 1853 because of ongoing conflict with the indigenous people of the area, the Ute people, including San Pitch Utes (Sanpete county derives its name from the San Pitch Utes). The village was reestablished as "Springtown" in 1859 by William Black, George Black and Joseph S. Black. Christen G. Larsen was made bishop of a new LDS ward in 1860. Beginning in 1853, the Allred family and other church leaders had begun to encourage Danish immigrants to settle in Sanpete County, and, particularly after the community was reestablished in 1859, to join the Allred Settlement. By the mid-1860s locals referred to the north side of town as "Little Copenhagen" or "Little Denmark". Spring City was also a site of fighting during the Black Hawk War.

Spring City 66 is a supertall skyscraper under construction in Kunming, Yunnan, China. It will be 349 metres (1,145.0 ft) tall. Construction started in 2013 and is expected to be completed in 2018.
