Commanche Springs Pool
by Basaic
Commanche Springs was the largest spring in the area flowing over 65 million gallons per day. By 1938, the spring had been tapped to the point that it stopped flowing. When the spring stopped flowing, the city built a pavilion and a swimming pool on the spot. The pool was named after the spring.
