history

The thermal springs in the urban area were rich in minerals and valued for their healing properties. The owner of the property with the springs was a doctor. He built a large bath house there and named it Hot Springs . The mineral springs were mainly used by miners from the nearby Mineral Hill . From May 1907 the Las Vegas & Tonopah Railroad Company and the Bullfrog Goldfield Railroad even had their own train station .

When the work on Mineral Hill subsided, there was a drop in sales in Hot Springs. The source's owner closed his business in the mid-1870s. No building remains from the old city have survived, but the hot springs are still bubbling.
