The amended Springville Historic District (Additional Documentation and Boundary Change) is locally significant under Criterion A in the areas of Commerce, Community Planning & Development and Art for its association with patterns of history that contribute to the development of Springville, Utah. The Springville Historic District (Additional Documentation and Boundary Change) is also significant under Criterion C in the area of Architecture for the large number of architecturally significant buildings that have been maintained and preserved.
