Springbrook, Oregon
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Springbrook is an unincorporated community within the city of Newberg, in Yamhill County, Oregon, United States. Oregon Geographic Names says that the community was originally named "Hoskins", after pioneer Cyrus E. Hoskins, who settled in the area. When a post office was established on June 30, 1893, however, the name was changed to Springbrook (after Cyrus Hoskins' farm), since there was already a Hoskins, Oregon in Benton County. The post office closed in 1961.
[edit] Geography
Most of Springbrook was eventually incorporated into the eastern part of the city of Newberg. Many of the businesses, streets and housing developments in that area are named after the former community, including Springbrook Plaza, Springbrook Oaks (a development begun in 2004) and Springbrook Road (an arterial in eastern Newberg).
