Saratoga Springs, New York: A Brief History
Timothy Holmes
The springs of Saratoga had already established the city as the center of a thriving wellness trade when a thrill-seeking public demanded more excitement. Gambling and horse racing flourished, eventually giving the city a reputation for wickedness and seedy splendor. Today, after decades in which economic and societal changes seemed to write the city a death sentence, Saratoga has recaptured the verve of the earlier age, reinvigorated by new people and fresh ideas.
