Sulphur Springs Spartans
Sulphur Springs Spartans
Another old Texas team, the city was founded in 1855 because of its sulphur springs mineral waters just south of the city. Mineral water bath resorts were built and the resulting tourist industry helped the city to develop. The moniker was appropriate because the ancient Greek city of Thermopoli also had hot sulphur springs... Thermopoli is only a short distance from the site of the ancient city of Sparta...
