Eureka! We found it!

There is a monument at the spring location commemorating the discovery of the spring & the naming of Eureka by the founding pioneers. The story relates that a weary group of settlers had heard of a spring in the area & short on water had begun a diligent search for it. One lucky settler, after coming across the spring, called out "Eureka!" I have found it!"
