Hot Springs National Park
Hot Springs National Park (NP), located in the City of Hot Springs, Arkansas, is a site that includes significant historical, cultural and natural resources. It is unique among National Parks in that it incorporates both an urban component and surrounding natural areas of the Zig Zag Mountains. The most significant feature of the Park is the 143-degree Fahrenheit thermal water that emanates from 47 springs located on the southwest side of Hot Springs Mountain. As a result of its temperature and mineral content, Hot Springs water has long been believed to have therapeutic qualities. It is legend that Native Americans regularly visited the site for as long as 10,000 years and it was frequently visited by French traders and trappers before the Louisiana Purchase made Arkansas part of the U.S. in 1803.

Geothermal Technologies Program: A History of Geothermal Energy in the United States
1852 The Geysers is developed into a spa called The Geysers Resort Hotel. Guests include J. Pierpont Morgan, Ulysses S. Grant, Theodore Roosevelt, and Mark Twain. 1862 At springs located southeast of The Geysers, businessman Sam Brannan pours an estimated half million dollars into an extravagant development dubbed "Calistoga," replete with hotel, bathhouses, skating pavilion, and racetrack. Brannan's was one of many spas reminiscent of those of Europe. 1864 Homes and dwellings have been built near springs through the millennia to take advantage of the natural heat of these geothermal springs, but the construction of the Hot Lake Hotel near La Grande, Oregon, marks the first time that the energy from hot springs is used on a large scale. 1892 Folks in Boise, Idaho, feel the heat of the world's first district heating system as water is piped from hot springs to town buildings.
