History of Green Cove Springs Green Cove Springs is know for the warm mineral spring that is located at Spring Park which is between Spring St and Walnut St. Many believed 
the spring had medicinal values, so people would travel from all over to come drink from the springs. I might have to run over there and see if I can get a cup or two. J.C. Penney use to own the property the spring is on prior to the 1930s, until he turned it over to the city. Now, the spring also feeds the municipal pool right next to it, without the city having to use chemicals in the pool.
