In the 1600-1770's it was the place local Indians met for their annual gathering because they believed that such a phenomenon as clear water springsing up fro the ground must denote a scared place.  When cattlemen brought drives
south in the 1800's, the river was low enough nearby fora crossing and they refreshed themselves in the cool water. 
Their trail was the begining of Nebraska Avenue.         Linda Hope, Historian
