The town of Sulphur Springs in Benton County, not to be confused with any of the other seven places in Arkansas that bear that name, was centered around the attraction of the mineral springs here.

Included in its history is the establishment by John Townsend of what eventually became know as the Wycliffe Translators, a global Christian mission organization that has translated the Bible and Bible portions into hundreds of languages.
