The historic Natchitoches people inhabited this area and used the hot springs to heal their wounds. This area was home to regional indigenous peoples whose ancestors had visited it for thousands of years.
After the acquisition of Louisiana Territory, which was previously controlled by French and Spanish officials in 1803, President Thomas Jefferson asked William Dunbar, a Natchez, Mississippi planter and amateur scientist, to investigate this area. Dunbar led a small group of soldiers and George Hunter, a friend, to the Ouachita Mountains, where they reported on the Indian tribes and minerals. They reached Hot Springs in December 1804 and found a basic cabin that was used by spring visitors.
Jean Pierre Emanuel Prudhomme was the first European-American settler. He is a descendant of French colonists. Prudhomme, who was the owner of a plantation on Red River, was suffering from sickness and sought help from the springs. He built the first European permanent house near the springs in 1807 and lived there for two years. John Percival and Isaac Cates, both trappers from Alabama joined him. Percival saw great potential in the area and built log cabins to rent out to spring visitors.
