How Sulphur Springs Got Its Name

Sulphur Springs was named a long time ago because of a special natural water source nearby. This source was a "mineral spring." A mineral spring is a place where water flows up from underground and contains different minerals dissolved in it.

In the past, people often settled near mineral springs because they thought the water had special healing powers, or they simply enjoyed drinking it. The name "Sulphur Springs" tells us that the water from this particular spring likely contained sulphur, which can give the water a unique smell or taste.
