Landmark Trivia
The National Park was established from Hot Springs Reservation, which was initially created by an act of the United States Congress on April 20, 1832.
While it was a reservation, the area developed into a well-known resort nicknamed "The American Spa" which attracted not only the wealthy but indigent health seekers from around the world as well.
