==Namesake==
The area became known as Boiling Springs because of a small spring in its heart<ref>{{cite web|title=Spartanburg County Public Libraries|url=http://www.infodepot.org/zAbout/Histories/hist/historybsp.asp|website=History of Boiling Springs|access-date=29 March 2015|ref=1|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150319063534/http://www.infodepot.org/zAbout/Histories/hist/historybsp.asp|archive-date=19 March 2015|url-status=dead}}</ref> that, up until the land was commercially developed, actually appeared as if it were boiling and would sometimes shoot water {{convert|6|ft}} into the air. The geyser diminished gradually over the years. In the 1930s it had become a shallow, barely bubbling stream and today the water is still. The spring is located at the corner of McMillian Boulevard and [[South Carolina Highway 9|Highway 9]] on the same lot as the (formerly) Bi-Lo Shopping Center and the Verizon Mobile store. Once the land was developed and the shopping center was built, the springs ceased to boil. After the spring was cleaned up and dug out, a small park was built around it with benches, flags, and a memorial to a citizen of Boiling Springs.
