Description
Frank Marble discovered these springs in 1848, and William Day
established a resort here in the 1850s. Ukiah Vichy represents
one of the oldest and one of the few continuously operating
mineral springs in California. Its waters remain among the most
important of the thermal, alkaline-carbonated waters once so
highly valued by both European and American believers in
hydropathy. It is the only mineral springs in California that
resembles the famed Grand Grille Springs of Vichy, France.
The official state marker plaque is located in
the parking lot and is accessible to the public.
