Fuquay Mineral Spring, Mineral spring in Fuquay-Varina, North Carolina.
The spring site covers 1.2 acres with a gazebo structure protecting the water source, accessible through a small footbridge at the corner of Main Street.
The spring was discovered in 1858 by Davey Crocket Fuquay and Stephen Fuquay while plowing their father's farm, leading to its recognition for mineral waters.
Between 1900 and 1930, thousands of people traveled to the spring seeking relief from kidney and intestinal problems through the mineral water consumption.
The spring resides at the northeast corner of Main and West Spring Streets in Fuquay-Varina, with coordinates at 35°34′48″N 78°48′3″W.
The National Register of Historic Places listed this spring on December 4, 1986, preserving its status as a natural water source with medical properties.
