What's on this shirt
Old-school engraved artwork in burnt orange: the sun coming up over rolling Middle Tennessee farmland, a barn, a silo and a split-rail fence, Spring Hill arched across the top and est. 1808 underneath.
1808 is when it started. Settlers arrived around then, and the city marks May 1808 as its founding. The name comes from a spring below the hill where Albert Russell built the first home, and it stuck even after an attempt to rename the town Petersburg.
Gift idea: A good pick for the history buff, or anyone whose family has been in Spring Hill for generations.

A little Spring Hill history
The first settlers arrived around 1808, and the city still marks May 1808 as its founding. Albert Russell built the first home on a hill above a spring, and that spring gave the town its name after folks tried and failed to rename it Petersburg in honor of early settler James Peters.
Spring Hill's biggest moment came on November 29, 1864, when Confederate General John Bell Hood's army and Union troops under Schofield clashed here the night before the Battle of Franklin. Union forces slipped through during the night, a controversial turn that historians still argue about, and it set up one of the bloodiest days of the Civil War just down the road.
A tornado tore through the center of town in January 1963 and caused serious damage, but Spring Hill rebuilt. Decades later the town turned into one of the fastest growing cities in Tennessee, with GM reopening its plant and new neighborhoods filling in around the old farms and estates.
