The former Sanford Town Hall, located in Springvale, was the second of three civic buildings built to serve as the seat of Sanford's local government. As a secondary village of the Town of Sanford, Springvale has a history that is both separated from and connected to the surrounding communities. The former Sanford Town Hall is a significant remnant of the period between the Civil War and the first World War, when Springvale's main streets were at the center of the village, both politically, socially and commercially. Recently renovated by the Sanford Springvale Historical Society, the Former Sanford Town Hall was listed in the National Register of Historic Places for its association with Sanford's town government between 1873 and 1908, and its use as a public hall from 1873 through 1960.
