In the book "History of Huntingdon and Blair counties, Pennsylvania" by J. Simpson Africa, c. 1883 on Page 392: "The hamlet of Spring Mount is situated at the foot of the Bald Eagle Ridge, north of the centre of the township. It contained in 1880 about a dozen houses, a Brethren or Dunkard Church, and had 94 inhabitants. The place took its name from a fine spring which rises in the mountains near this place, and was never regularly platted. The farm on which it had its beginning belonged to Henry Krider, and a few lots were at first sold merely to accommodate mechanics who wished to carry on their trades at that point. The first building was a blacksmith-shop, in which Daniel Caraher worked a number of years, being followed by Samuel Caraher, his son."
