Springwater is an unincorporated rural community[1] in Clackamas County, Oregon, United States, about three miles (4.8 km) south of Estacada on Oregon Route 211. So named since pioneer days, it was one of the first places on the upper Clackamas River to have a post office.[2] Springwater post office ran from 1874 to 1914, with George A. Crawford as the first postmaster.[2] The historic wooden Springwater Presbyterian Church was built c. 1890.[3] The Springwater Grange has celebrated a Springwater Fair every year since 1923.[4]
