Spilman grew around the site of a post office established in 1887, and named after its first postmaster, Henry E. Spilman, who ran the post office from 1887 to 1909. The post office continued to operate until 1925, when it was discontinued, and the mail redirected to West Columbia.[3][4] A 1908 USGS topographical survey map shows about two dozen houses or other buildings at Spilman; there were only half as many in 1989, all to the west of Spilman Church.[5]
