Boyes Hot Springs, California
Boyes Hot Springs (also called Boyes Springs or The Springs)is a census-designated place (CDP) in Sonoma Valley, Sonoma County, California, United States. The population was 6,656 people at the 2010 census. Resorts in Boyes Hot Springs, El Verano, Fetters Hot Springs, and Agua Caliente were popular health retreats for tourists from San Francisco and points beyond until the middle of the 20th century because of the geothermic hot springs that still well up from deep within the earth.
==History==
The area was first occupied by Indigenous peoples who discovered and used the hot springs that the area is named after. Eventually, in 1840, the area was developed for commercial use by T.M. Leavenworth, who came from San Francisco. In 1889, property was being sold in the area as being near the "celebrated old Indian Medicine Spring."〔 Captain H.E. Boyes discovered hot springs in 1895 in the central part of the area. He and his wife called the area Agua Rica.〔〔 and started the Boyes Hot Springs Hotel, which is now the site of the Fairmont Hotels and Resorts' Sonoma Mission Inn and Spa.〔 The area became popular with tourists, with over 70,000 visiting each year. A railroad serviced the area during this period.
During the Great Depression, the area's tourism business stopped and the hotel closed.〔 During that period, the Oakland Oaks and San Francisco Seals did their spring training in Boyes Hot Springs.〔 Tourism became the region's main economic focus again in the 1930s. The area was then taken over by the United States Navy during World War II, who sent sailors to the area for recreation.〔 Railroad service stopped in 1942.〔
Today, the area is primarily residential with a large Latino population. Boyes Hot Springs is part of an area called "The Springs," which comprises Boyes and Fetters Hot Springs-Agua Caliente.〔
