Manitou Springs derives its name from two dozen mineral springs situated throughout the area, many of which have spigots that locals and tourists alike may drink from. The minerals present at each location change the flavor of the local water.
In the early 1900's, the town became known as a health destination for people suffering from TB. The clean mountain air and mineral springs waters were part of a healthy retreat for people arriving by rail from across the country.
