Long before the race course, Saratoga Spring’s mineral waters are what drew the wealthy to the area that became one of the most prestigious spa resorts in the country. In 1872 a small business emerged with the discovery of a plentiful spring source that had an especially sweet, crisp taste to it. The water has been bottled at the same Geyser Road site ever since. Today, the distinctive cobalt blue bottles of sparkling water can be purchased at local supermarkets and beverage centers.
