 A Brief History of Spa from Spa Finder
The United States became a center of spa innovation beginning in the 1850s, when New York's Saratoga Springs emerged as a fashionable retreat for luminaries ranging from Edgar Allan Poe to Franklin Delano Roosevelt (who, as New York governor, championed the town's renovation in the early 30's).
The first fitness spa, The Ashram, also debuted in California, in 1974, brandishing a grueling weight loss/fitness regimen that was toned down and popularized by Tucson's Canyon Ranch in 1979.
With the advent of these and other diverse spa offering, the spa - which by the mid-20th century had become the rarified domain of wealthy women looking to lose weight - reclaimed its relevance in a society increasingly focused on prevention, healthy lifestyles, fitness, spirituality and relaxation.
