Warm Springs, originally named "Bullochville", first came to prominence in the 19th century as a spa town, because of its mineral springs which flow constantly at nearly 90 °F. Residents of Georgia, particularly Savannah, began spending vacations at Bullochville in the late 18th century as a way to escape yellow fever, finding the number of warm springs in the vicinity of Bullochville very attractive. In the late 19th century traveling to the warm springs was a way to escape the city for a short while. Traveling by railroad to Durand, visitors would then go to Bullochville, 6 miles away. One of the places benefiting from this was the Meriwether Inn. Once the automobile became popular in the early 20th century, tourists began going elsewhere, leading to the decline of the inn.
