Founded in 1830 and first known as Winter's Gap, this town was later named after Richard Oliver, its first postmaster, and the natural mineral springs that were nearby. A resort hotel was built near the springs, catering to wealthy guests from all over the nation who came to drink and bathe in the water. Sadly, the grand resort burned in 1905 but the ticket booth still stands at point 36. Oliver Springs now caters to off-road enthusiasts.
