1 w w w. l a v a h o t s p r i n g s. o r g ava Hot Springs is a friendly, vibrant community rich in western history and natural resources, offering a satisfying variety of summer and winter activities. Long before white settlers discovered the natural, odor-free mineral waters in this quiet valley, the Bannock and Shoshone Indian tribes gathered here to bathe, rest, and worship. For centuries, the Indians paid tribute to the Great Spirit for the curative powers of these springs and set the area aside as a neutral ground to be shared in peace by all tribes. Traders and trappers arrived in the early to mid-1800s. Bob Dempsey set up a trading post, befriended and became champion of the Native Peoples, and married Chief Tendoy s daughter Margaret, of the Lemhi tribe. The settlement that is now Lava Hot Springs was originally called Dempsey. The State of Idaho began developing the hot springs in 1911 and continues to administer this natural resource for all to enjoy. More information on the services and activities in the Lava Hot Springs area can be found by following the links on our website Francois Desire Fagnant and Eugenie Fagnant For additional information on Idaho Call VISIT-ID
