Vichy Springs (formerly, Ukiah Vichy Springs[1] and Doolan's Ukiah Vichy Springs[3]) is a set of springs around which formed a resort in Mendocino County, California, United States.[4] It is located on Sulphur Creek 3 miles (4.8 km) east-northeast of Ukiah,[3] at an elevation of 801 feet (244 m).[1]

Although previously used by the local Native Americans,[5] the first westerner to discover the hot springs at this location was Frank Marble, in 1848.[2] The springs at Ukiah Vichy resemble the more famous Grand Grille Springs in Vichy, and like the springs in Vichy the waters of the springs are alkaline and carbonated.[2][6] In the 1850s William Day founded the Ukiah Vichy Springs Resort, taking advantage of the 19th-century revival of hydrotherapy.[2] By 1892 the resort was known as Doolan's Ukiah Vichy Springs.[6] Visitors included Ulysses S. Grant, Benjamin Harrison, Jack London, Teddy Roosevelt, Robert Louis Stevenson, and Mark Twain.[7] As one of the oldest continuously operated hot spring resorts in the state, Ukiah Vichy Springs has been recognized as California Historical Landmark #980.[2][5]

A post office operated at Vichy Springs from 1893 to 1936.[3]
