The history of Saratoga Springs goes back to 1691, when Fort Saratoga was erected on the west bank of the Hudson River. Then in 1767, some Native Americans brought British war hero Sir William Johnson to a spring area, to treat the wounds he sustained on the battlefield. It led to the area becoming known as Saratoga Springs. That particular spring where Sir William washed his wounds is known today as High Rock Spring.
