History

In the 1870s a large number of Polish immigrants came to the area to grow cotton. Flooding and drought also contributed to the decline of the town, and in 1921 another fire shut down Wootan Wells permanently. In 1878, local resident Francis Marion Wootan discovered that the local water had a high mineral content. Years later, the new owner, cotton baron William Marsh Rice, whose first wife was Bremond's daughter, Margaret, had the town surveyed and named after Bremond. Wootan Wells soon became a popular resort community, with four hotels and hundreds of support staff.
