Needville was founded by August Schendel, a German immigrant from Washington County who in 1891 purchased a 160 acres tract of land from H& TC Railroad. In 1892, August Schendel established a general store in the area he named Schendelville.
The Yost Spring supplied the town pump that was located at Main Street & Yost Avenue, just a short distance down the hill from the spring. The borough of Springville was officially founded in 1867. A few years later the name was permanently changed to Spring City, due to postal regulations. It seems that another town had already claimed the name Springville, so the change was made to avoid confusion.
