Tucked away in upstate New York, Saratoga Springs is a hotspot for all things relaxation and racing.
Saratoga Springs, founded in the late 18th century, was actually once home to Native American tribes. The mineral springs were of great value to them because they were thought to have certain healing properties! After the official establishment of Saratoga Springs in 1819, it flourished as a popular health and spa resort destination. Wealthy visitors from across the nation would travel here to reap the therapeutic benefits of the mineral waters.
