HISTORY The springs were historically a magnet for the indigenous population of the region, often Tonkawa s. The first Spanish explorer to visit the springs was Damián Massanet in 1691 . The site was later home to a Spanish mission. German settlers eventually called the site "Las Fontanas". The area has been home to a mixture of recreational and commercial endeavors, including Landa Park. GEOLOGY The Comal Springs are feed by the Edwards Aquifer , a large Karst aquifer that runs through most of central Texas. The aquifer consists of porous, water-bearing Limestone features which channel rainfall and runoff from the aquifer's recharge zone down to various discharge zones, including the springs.
