History
Willow Springs were used pre-settlement as a water source for indigenous people.[1] The springs were visited by Father Garces, John C. Frémont, and 19th migrants on route through the Death Valley.[1]
Willow Springs was an important stop on Los Angeles–Havilah and Los Angeles–Inyo freight and stagecoach lines.[2][1] Most of the masonry buildings were built around 1900 by Ezra Hamilton,[2] who had discovered gold in the area.[1] A post office operated at Willow Springs from 1909 to 1918.[2] The California state mining bureau reported in 1915 that Willow Springs was then "owned by E. M. Hamilton Estate" and had a total of 23 springs...Water contains sodium chloride, borates, and other salts. Well known summer resort. Accommodations for a number of guests."[5]
The site is now registered as California Historical Landmark #103.[6]
