Town of Beersheeba Springs
City Charter

History
Incorporated in 1839 as a summer resort.  The town and the spring were named for Beersheba Porter Cain, the woman who discovered the chalybeate spring 1833.  The acquisition of the property in 1854 by Colonel John Armfield, a Louisiana slave trader, ushered in a period of intense development that gave the mid-nineteenth century cottage community its present flavor and layout.  He built a new luxurious hotel that was constructed, along with the cabins and grounds, to accommodate four hundred guests.  During the civil war, the Beersheba Springs Hotel sold to Northern investors.  Though the resort reopened in the 1870s, it never recaptured its former glory. The United Methodist Church acquired the Beersheba Springs hotel in 1941, to use it for assembly and summer camp. In 1980, the historic district of the town was placed on the National Register of Historic Places.
