Spa towns are communities that grew up around mineral spas (developed mineral springs) that often included amenities such as resorts and hotels for the people coming there to "take the waters"—that is, drink or bathe in the water—for their purported health benefits. These were often founded in the late 19th or early 20th centuries and many still operate in that capacity today.
