In the fall of 1881, five men gathered in Deadwood, Dakota Territory, to form the Hot Springs Town-Site Company. These five men were, Rudolphus D. Jennings, an internal revenue collector, Alexander S. Stewart, a receiver at the United States land office, Ervin G. Dudley, a sawmill owner, L. R. Graves, president of the First National Bank of Deadwood, and Fred T. Evans, a freighter/transportation company owner. These men had come to the Black Hills during the gold rush of the late 1870's. The five men planned to develop a warm-water resort at the southern end of the Black Hills in an area containing about seventy-five warm-water, mineral–rich springs. These five men and others who followed them, built the town of Hot Springs based on the pursuit of health and enjoying the warm mineral springs; a town unique in the region built from locally sourced sandstone.
