The history of Manitou Springs is forever linked with the springs around which it was founded. The numerous natural soda mineral springs have attracted mankind for centuries.

The Nations of the Ute, Arapaho, Cheyenne, and Kiowa were all frequent visitors to this neutral ground known for the therapeutic effects of drinking and bathing in the mineral water. Western explorers' reports attracted interest in the area with influential doctors of the time writing glowingly of the health benefits of the mineral waters.
