Deer Park Spring Water Co., established in 1873, is a company that bottles natural spring water. ==History== Following the Civil War, the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad (B&O) created a vacation resort high in the Appalachian Mountains of western Maryland. While the Deer Park Hotel and its spa were built to attract passengers to ride the railroad to this vacation spot, the spring water near the site also became a major attraction. Among the many tourists who made the journey to enjoy the benefits of the spring water were four American Presidents, from James Garfield to William Taft. Known locally as the "Boiling Spring", the source of the spring water derived its name from the action of the water bubbling up through white sand on its way to the surface. The B&O Railroad quickly recognized the value of the spring and began bottling the water in 1873. In 1966 the Boiling Spring Holding Corporation purchased the spring and its surrounding woodlands from the B&O Railroad and incorporated as Deer Park Spring Water, Inc., named for the nearby town of Deer Park, Maryland. This company bottled the spring water primarily for the metropolitan New York market. Deer Park Water Company was then purchased by the Clorox Company and continued to sell the spring water under the Deer Park name along most of the East Coast. Perrier Group of America Inc., the bottled water company which is a subsidiary of Nestle S.A., the giant Swiss food producer, bought Deer Park Spring Water, Inc in 1993.〔http://www.nytimes.com/1993/10/01/business/company-news-nestle-s-perrier-unit-purchases-deer-park-water.html〕 As a division of Nestlé.,〔(http://www.nestle-watersna.com/Menu/OurBrands/DeerPark/Deer+Park+Heritage.htm ) ''nestle.watersna.com''〕 the water now comes from additional sources in Florida, Pennsylvania, Maryland, Michigan and South Carolina. Once known (and well-remembered) for its famous '80s catchphrase ''"Deer PARK, that's good water!"''.〔https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rRH-7tacyX4〕 In 2006, the uniquely designed Aquapod bottle was released under this brand. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Deer Park Spring Water」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
