Jacumba Hot Springs California
Jacumba Hot Springs was first established in The Mid 1800s being in close vicinity of the early Wagon roads, portions of which still exist. The area natural hot mineral springs as well as the local landscape hint at the volcanic activity in its geologic past. The area was developed over the years for tourism centered on its hot springs, even today The Jacumba Spa still caters to guest with its Hot Mineral water pools, and restaurant.
The Town started coming into it's own around the 1920s and was known to have many famous people regular visit it, including many movie stars. Most would stay at the Hotel Vaughn, in later days The Jacumba Hotel, which burned down and now foundations and a chimney are all that remains.
The Town has seen a resurgence in recent years. I myself like the area for rambling about.
