One of the county's fastest-growing cities, Springboro attracts new residents to attractive housing, excellent schools, and a picturesque setting of rolling farmland. The master plan for the city is designed to control expansion and preserve the small-town qualities that are valued so highly in this family-oriented community. One of the most charming features of the town is the six-block section of South Main Street listed on the National Register of Historic Places. Visitors to the area are able to see the original Quaker houses with secret rooms that hid slaves who escaped on the Underground Railroad during the Civil War era. Homes styles range from magnificent 19th century properties to new developments. Excellent schools, an 18-hole public golf course, and a popular dinner theater add to the quality of life.
