Named for a Cherokee chieftain, the City of Cave Spring was established in 1832 by settlers of English and Scotch-Irish ancestry. The town was named for the limestone spring, which produces two million gallons of water daily inside a cave in the center of town and has been the primary drinking source for the surrounding community for decades.
While Cave Springs is best known for its water, it’s not just any water. It’s rumored to be the purest, best-tasting water and used for more than drinking – it also feeds into Rolater Lake, a community swimming pool shaped like the state of Georgia.
