A 2001 pamphlet by Mrs. Glen Carson Henry titled “McDonald & Environs” published by the Bradley County Historical Society in Cleveland, Tn., gives a history of the McDonald area's early hotels.
From around the 1880s to about 1933 there were six hotels and resorts that were erected to take advantage of the mineral spring water prevalent in McDonald.
The area became well known for its summer resort hotels, springs and cabins and it was claimed that “there are more springs in Bradley County than any other East Tennessee county.”
