Cedar Springs is a small, unincorporated community located in Preble County, in the U.S. state of Ohio. An unincorporated community means it's a place where people live, but it doesn't have its own local government like a city or a town. Instead, it's usually managed by the county.

A Look Back: The History of Cedar Springs

The story of Cedar Springs began with its special natural springs. Long ago, Native Americans living in the area believed these springs had healing powers. They thought the water could help people feel better.

Later, in the 1870s, a hotel was built right next to these natural springs. This hotel became a popular spot, likely because people wanted to visit the springs and experience their believed medicinal qualities. This is how Cedar Springs started to grow as a community.
