Spring Hill is a neighborhood of Mobile, in Mobile County, Alabama.[2][3][4] Located on a tall broad hill 6 miles (10 km) to the west of downtown Mobile, it has one of the highest elevations in the area.[5] Originally a summer retreat community, it was eventually encompassed and annexed by the City of Mobile after 1820.[6][5] It gained its name from a number of natural springs at the site.[7]
