Cedar Springs, Ohio
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Cedar Springs is an unincorporated community in Preble County, in the U.S. state of Ohio.[1]
Natural springs in the area were believed by Native Americans to hold medicinal qualities.[2] Cedar Springs had its start in the 1870s when a hotel opened at the springs.[2] By 1900, the hotel had 100 rooms and attracted enough visitors that an electric interurban railroad branch was built from New Westville to nearby New Paris to accommodate tourists; the hotel closed in the 1930s. [3] More recently, Cedar Springs became the site of one of the first dedicated tiny house developments in the United States.[4]
