On March 11, 1889, Joseph Daniel Bell and his crew drilled into a rock formation in South Waco and sent a geyser of hot water spewing into the clear, blue Central Texas sky. (geyser) This gusher helped turn Waco, Texas, into a popular tourist destination for the next 20 years. You see, a “hydrotherapy” craze was sweeping the nation.
