Description
Located in the Ouachita Mountains, Hot Springs National Park occupies almost 6,000 acres. Long before the Spanish arrived, the American Indians thought the thermal hot springs had beneficial qualities.

The early Europeans also recognized the springs as having healing properties. A number of bathhouses were erected and the area became a popular area with the wealthy as well as those interested in health. A number of bathhouses still stand and have been declared a National Historic Landmark.

Hot Springs Reservation was established in 1832, making it the oldest park in the national park system. It became Hot Springs National Park in 1921.
