History
Local native peoples used the springs for years before the area was settled by immigrants. In 1903 a water diversion canal was built to move water to farmlands south of St. Thomas. The project initially failed due to permeable soils in the area, before failing again due to economic issues. Between the years of 1938 to 1943 a water fowl refuge was planned and begun, but the construction was terminated.
