Springerville is known for its volcanic fields. The Springerville Volcanic Field is the third largest young volcanic field in the United States. The field was created in the late Pliocene to Pleistocene age. The earliest eruption was approximately 3 million years ago.
In 1250 A.D., the Mogollon (Western Pueblo) mountain people came to this area to build a community. This community thrived for over 1,100 years, due in part to their ability to adapt to the mountain environment.
In 1871, the first Mexican settlers arrived to this area. They named the place Valle Redondo or Round Valley. Later on, the town’s name was changed to Springerville. The name came from a merchant named Henry Springer, who extended credit to unsavory individuals and then went bankrupt.
Two of Springerville’s most influential individuals were Julius and Gustav Becker. These men arrived in Springerville in 1876 and opened a freighting business. Julius Becker, the son of Gustav helped get US 60 to come through Springerville.
