Do you know of Spring Forge ???

This page is an orphan - a placeholder until we can discover more about Spring Forge. When we encounter a name that is new to us, we add it to our Gazetteer with the hope that we'll discover more information in the future. Such is the case with Spring Forge.<1>

Our sources for Spring Forge (see Mentions and References below) indicate that it was a community with a post office by the same name. Unfortunately our sources aren't clear about the location of Spring Forge other than they indicate that Spring Forge would be found somewhere in York County, Pennsylvania.

From the Blevins / Hellbock List: The post office opened  in 1831 and closed  in 1911.
