I don't know when the name changed. We always knew it as Blue Rock Springs. It was a resort in the late 1800's. Springs Road used to be named White Sulfur Springs Road because it was the wagon road to the park. This picture is from 1904 and shows the hotel out there. If I recall, the lake out there was fed by the spring and it was a sulfur spring. I have seen pictures of people bathing in it. The spring stopped flowing when they dynamited the quicksilver mines.<- This is a quote from a friend of mine.

1928

Back in the Old Days before it was called Blue Rocks Springs.

White Sulfur Springs. See the man sitting by what appears
to be a small pool of water. This is in the Olden Days before
it changed to Blue Rocks Springs.
