In the 1880s, local business owners renamed this property from Spring Garden to Ponce De Leon Springs to attract tourists. The area was promoted in northern states as a winter resort with its own Fountain of Youth, pouring out millions of gallons of "deliciously healthy" water. In the 1950s, the site became one of Florida's many roadside attractions, again featuring the Fountain of Youth. It included two structures: this wall, said to have been the location of a small fountain where visitors could drink the water, and a second structure about 200 feet south, up the hill, with basins at different levels that created a waterfall effect before the water flowed down into the fountain wall.
