What is "spring hill"

Spring Hill may refer to:

Spring Hill is a section of Norwalk, Connecticut named after the hill on which most of the neighborhood sits. The neighborhood is located west of the Central section of Norwalk, across U.S. Route 7 and north of Interstate 95 and U.S. Route 1. Norwalk Hospital is on the eastern edge of the neighborhood. Riverside Cemetery is on the northeastern edge.

About 9,000 people live in Spring Hill, a densely populated part of the city where condominiums have been built in recent decades. The Spring Hill Neighborhood Association is an advocacy group for the community.

In 2008, the parks committee of the First Taxing District of Norwalk agreed to create a park out of a tract surrounding the water towers in the neighborhood (bordered by Dover Street, Grandview Avenue and Magnolia Street). The property includes several oak trees that are about 150 years old. Up until the creation of the park, the neighborhood was the only one in Norwalk without a park. Riverside Park, a long strip, previously existed where the "Super 7" highway connector was built in the early 1980s.

Norwalk Hospital is a major landowner in the neighborhood. Aside from the land where the hospital buildings are located, the hospital owns more than a dozen parcels totaling roughly on Truman, Stevens and Maple streets, Magnolia Avenue and Rhodonolia. The parcels contain houses, condominiums and medical facilities.

Jefferson Science Magnet School is located in Spring Hill.

Spring Hill is an affluent neighborhood of Mobile, in Mobile County, Alabama. Located on a tall broad hill to the west of downtown Mobile, it has one of the highest elevations in the area.

Spring Hill is a historic home located at Ivy, Albemarle County, Virginia. The main house dates to about 1785, and is a two-story, brick dwelling expanded in the 1870s and 1930s. The oldest building on the property is the brick field slave quarters, built about 1765, and once served as the main house. Also on the property are a brick dairy and kitchen. The house is representative of the evolution and integration of academic and vernacular architectural styles covering over two centuries of Albemarle County settlement.

Spring Hill is a historic home located near Providence Forge, New Kent County, Virginia. It was built about 1782, and is a 1 1/2-story, five-bay, gable-roofed, timber-frame Federal style dwelling. It has a center-hall plan. An addition was built in 1947. Also on the property is a contributing smokehouse. It is representative of a typical mid- to late-18th-century farmhouse in the Tidewater area of Virginia.

The house was built by Richard Croshaw Graves after the American Revolution. He commanded the New Kent and Charles County militias during the American Revolution (1776–82). After the war, he returned to his plantation, which he called "Indian Fields," and had a new house constructed for his growing family between 1782-84. He died there in 1798. The property passed to his son, Colonel Richard Graves. The Graves family retained possession of Indian Fields until 1863 when it was sold.

Local legend has it that Thomas Jefferson spent the eve of his wedding to Martha Wayles Skelton at Indian Fields with his friend Richard C. Graves . The young lawyer was traveling from Williamsburg, where he was attending court sessions, to Martha's family home, "The Forest," located in Charles City County. He began his journey on Christmas Eve, and arrived at "The Forest" shortly after Christmas Day, 1771. He would have spent Christmas enroute with the Graves family. Jefferson applied for a marriage license on December 31, 1771 and the couple was married on New Year's Day, 1772.

It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2002.
