Located in northeast Kansas, Spring Hill straddles the Johnson and Miami county lines providing area residents with the amenities of an urban center in a rural location. Area children attend schools that are ranked among the best nationally; residents have access to a city-owned championship golf course; city services support growing residential and commercial needs; and area parks, including a nearby reservoir, provide numerous recreational activities.
First settled in 1857, the community is named after Spring Hill, Alabama, which is located near Mobile. Incorporated in 1885, Spring Hill has recorded strong residential and commercial growth.
The City of Spring Hill has about 3,000 residents and an additional 8,000 people live outside of the city but within the school district. They work together to address community needs and join to celebrate local achievements.

Several of Spring Hill’s assets lie within the community’s
residents. They combine their talents to provide a strong base for the
area’s future.
In addition, the community benefits from several regional secondary
private schools and post-secondary institutions. There are four
vocational technical schools and community colleges within a 25-minute
drive from the city. They include Johnson County Community College,
Johnson County Area Vocational School, DeVry Institute of Technology
and Fort Scott Community College. There are 11 four-year universities
within one hour of the city. Mid-America Nazarene College in Olathe is
the closest with Washburn University in Topeka being the furthest
away. Others include Rockhurst University in Kansas City, Mo., Baker
University in Baldwin, University of Kansas Regents Center in Overland
Park, Haskell Indian College in Lawrence, University of Kansas in
Lawrence, University of Missouri at Kansas City, Mo., Avila College in
Overland Park, Brown Mackie College of Kansas in Overland Park and
Ottawa University in Ottawa.
Area institutions offer community outreach programs as a part of
their educational programs and some qualify as state employee training
centers. These multiple roles provide companies with assistance in
planning and funding for their workforce training needs.
- On the outer edge of the Kansas City metro-area, Spring Hill’s
location provides access to other assets. Johnson and Miami Counties
might be best known as the headquarters for such firms as Sprint
Corporation, Lee Apparel Company Inc., Yellow Corporation, Applebee’s
International Inc. Puritan-Bennett Corporation, Sealright Company
Inc., Allied Signal, Biotechnical
International and TIE Communications.
But the metropolitan area’s future strength relies on its growth
areas. Of Johnson County’s 476 square miles, less than half is
incorporated into 21 cities. Of the unincorporated area, about one third
is urbanized. The remainder is predominately woodlands. In Miami County,
about 80 percent of the county’s 599 square miles are unincorporated.
- Within a 15-minute drive, residents have access to two medical
centers. At 20333 West 151st Street, Olathe Medical Center offers
150-bed service for a full-range of surgery and emergency care.
Located next to the hospital is a doctors building with offices for
many of the hospital’s 135 staff members. Through a partnership in
Miami County, Olathe Medical Center has constructed a 20-bed facility
near K-263 and U.S. 169 Highway in Paola. The facility has an active
staff of 13 physicians with 50 consulting physicians.
In less than 30 minutes, residents can reach services at Shawnee
Mission Medical Center at 75th Street and I-35 or Columbia Overland Park
Regional Medical Center at 10500 Quivira Road. Dental offices, eye care and chiropractic services are available
through established Spring Hill practices.
