		The enduring legacy of Zzyzx Mineral Springs and Health Resort is a testimony to the extraordinary vision of a self-proclaimed evangelist and health guru who moved out to the ass-end of nowhere on the shore of a dry salt flat, and proceeded to make a Utopia in his image—part religion and part hucksterism.
		Well after Zzyzx was established, Springer began to offer lots for sale on the adjacent property, so that the well-to-do faithful might take 24-hour advantage of the healing waters and lifestyle he had so generously made available to the world.
		Zzyzx was finally entered as an official geographic name in 1984, proving that Curtis Springer did indeed have the last word.

	Zzyzx, California - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Zzyzx, California is a settlement in San Bernardino County, California, formerly the site of the Zzyzx Mineral Springs and Health Spa and now the site of the Desert Studies Center.
		The name Zzyzx, pronounced /ˈzaɪˌzɪks/ (pronounced as "Zei-zix" with the accent on the first syllable, rhyming with "Isaac's", not "physics"), was given to the area in 1944 by Curtis Howe Springer, claiming it to be the last word in the English language.
		He used Zzyzx until 1974, when he was arrested by the United States Marshals for misuse of the land as well as alleged violations of food and drug laws, and the land was confiscated by the government.

		For anyone who has traveled from Southern California to Las Vegas or beyond, there is a road sign just before Baker, California that reads "Zzyzx Road." Almost everyone I've talked to has wondered just what was on the road with the strange name.

	San Bernardino County Sun - Renovation begins at former health spa
		Its cluster of buildings, which Springer opened as a resort with indoor mineral springs and a cross-shaped pool, have weathered the desert wind and heat since the Bureau of Land Management evicted him in 1974, saying he didn't have a valid claim for the property.
		The site, known as Soda Springs before Springer opened his 12,000-acre Zzyzx mineral-springs resort, was used for hundreds of years by Indian tribes and as a stagecoach and then rail stop on the old Tonapah and Tidewater Railroad, according to the Park Service.

	Borax Smith and the Tonopah & Tidewater Railroad - Page 2
		California State Highway 127 parallels and crosses the original route of the T & T as it heads north from Baker, through Tecopa, Shoshone and beyond Death Valley Junction.
		The discovery of the Kramer borate deposit was an important geologic factor that influenced the course of mining at Ryan and resulted in the demise of the T & T. During its active years, the T & T became the lifeline for the remote mining camps and settlements along its route.
		In this area of California, southeast of Death Valley, the Garlock Fault and the mountains along this structural trend form a dividing line between the Mojave Desert to the south and the Amargosa Desert to the north.

		Located on the edge of a large dry lake, Zzyzx is the site of a former health resort established in 1944 by an evangelist named Curtis Springer, who advocated physical as well as spiritual fitness, and sold health products using the soda from the lake.

		Although the name of the spring reverted to its original name, Soda Spring, the road to the spring is still known as Zzyzx Road.
