Emergency Biohazard Cleanup Services in Green Springs, OH

Green Springs is a village that straddles the county line between Sandusky and Seneca counties in north-central Ohio.

The village grew up around a great sulfur mineral spring: founder Jacob Stem bought about 1,200 acres from the government in 1831, including the spring itself.

The settlement was originally called Stemtown after Stem, and was renamed Green Springs for the emerald-green color of the spring's water.

The Green Springs mineral spring is said to be one of the largest mineral springs in the world, flowing up from an underground river at about 8 million gallons of water every 24 hours and holding a constant 50 degrees year-round.

Because the water is rich in calcium sulphate and magnesium sulphate, Green Springs became a 19th-century health resort of hotels and spas - the "water cure" era - and its water was bottled and sold until the 1930s.

Before the village existed, its land lay inside the 40,000-acre Seneca Indian Reservation created by the Treaty of Fort Meigs in 1817; the Seneca relinquished the land in 1831 and moved west.

Green Springs had 1,233 residents at the 2020 census.

In the 2010 census, the village's 1,368 residents lived in 481 households.

Local children attend Green Springs Elementary and the Clyde-Green Springs Schools, whose sports teams are the Fliers, and the village library is a branch of the Birchard Public Library of Sandusky County.

Ed Pulaski, the forest ranger hero of the 1910 Big Burn and inventor of the Pulaski firefighting tool, was born in Green Springs.
