In the mid-nineteenth century, Chick Springs became an elite resort. The resort's hotel soon became a hospital after the resort closed. When the hospital director died in 1932, Norris Manufacturing Company was built on the former resort site. Shown above is all that remains of the resort. Chick Springs was once a place where faithful believers of the mineral water would come and drink the water, hoping to be restored in the healing power of the water.
