First Native Americans, then European settlers \u201ctook the cure\u201d in the hot mineral waters. In 1831 James Patton of Asheville built the 35- room Warm Springs Hotel. His dining room could seat 600 people, and the planter elite of South Carolina and Georgia brought culture and prosperity to the small village.
