Beall Spring has faithfully produced chalybeate water
for centuries. Challybeat water is characterized as
water containing iron salts. In addition to iron,
Beall Spring water contains nine other minerals.

First  recognized by Indians who used the water for
curative purposes, the springs were ceded to the state
in 1773. After cession the land was acquired by the
Beall family who allowed public access. The springs
have been in continuous public use ever since.

In the nineteenth century, Beall, Madison, Indian,
Porter, Robertson and Catoosa Springs as well as many
other became popular resort areas. These "watering
places" became great social centers and vacation spots
as well as escape areas from the fever ridden lowland.

Beall Spring was the host to Confederate Vice-
President Alexander Stephens and Senator Robert Toombs
as well as other notables when watering places were in
vogue.
