The Springs
The communities of El Verano, Boyes Hot Springs, Agua Caliente (Spanish for “hot water”), and Fetters Hot Springs—collectively known as “The Springs”—have been popular since the turn of the 20th century, when the railroads first began promoting Sonoma Valley. Today, the mineral waters continue to bring visitors to the area, which is home to a growing residential and business community. It is also home to three of Sonoma Valley’s elementary schools and one middle school, as well as La Luz Bilingual Center, which promotes a strong and healthy multicultural community through educational and other programs.
Agua Caliente originated as a land grant 10 miles (16 km) long on the east side of Sonoma Creek.
As of the census of 2000, there were 2,505 people, 885 households, and 584 families residing in the Springs.. The population density was 6,546.8 people per square mile .
George and Emma Fetters opened the Fetters Hot Springs resort in 1908
