Boiling Springs State Park is a park built near Woodward, Oklahoma, by the Civilian Conservation Corps in the 1930s and named for natural springs which occur in the park. ==History== The park originated in the 1930s and was named for its springs.〔(Boiling Springs Park ), Woodward Online - Parks (accessed May 18, 2013)〕 It was constructed as a park from the natural environment by the Civilian Conservation Corps.〔(【引用サイトリンク】publisher=Oklahoma Tourism and Recreation Department )〕 Native Americans, Spanish explorers, and pioneers have visited and inhabited the land used for the park. Spanish expeditions from Mexico are believed to have visited the area as early as 1541 as part of Coronado’s search for the fabled “Seven Cities of Gold”. In 1641 another Spanish explorer – Juan de Onate reported that several Indian encampments were found near the cool springs and heavy timber of the area. In 1823 General Thomas James of the U.S. Cavalry established a fur trading post here. Captain Nathan Boone, son of Daniel Boone, explored the vicinity of the park in 1843 on an expedition originating from Ft. Gibson in eastern Oklahoma. Pioneers flocking into this area during the land run of 1893 found the location quite suitable for farming and hunting. In the early 1900s area residents, were just beginning to find and enjoy the recreation potential of this place that was to become Boiling Springs State Park. In 1935 much of the land comprising the present day park was acquired by the City of Woodward to provide a place for recreation for its citizens and visitors. Although the local “swimming hole” was already present the primary development work was accomplished by the young men of Company 2822 of the Civilian Conservation Corps (CCC) from 1935 to 1939. A monument stands in the main picnic area of the park in honor of the contributions made by these men in making the park a place for so many to enjoy.
