History of White Sulphur Springs

Named in 1916 by "Surveyor Crowthers of Juneau." The name is derived from the white color of the sulphur deposits. "Prior to 1916 the springs were used only by a few natives who ventured north from Sitka on hunting and trapping expeditions. No improvements were made to the springs, the natives merely using the shallow natural poolsin the ledges." The springs were originally called "Hooniah Hot Springs" by U.S. Coast and Geodetic Survey (USC&GS) on Chart 8050 in 1902, and "Hooniah Warm Springs" in the 1908 Coast Pilot (p. 168). The name was changed to "White Sulphur Springs" in 1917 to avoid confusion with Tenakee Hot Springs.
