History
The town derives its name from the nearly 50 springs and lakes in the area. The main spring, Boiling Spring, discharges approximately 43 million gallons of water per day.
In 2018 Hurricane Florence damaged roads in Boiling Spring Lakes and destroyed the dam holding back the main lake in the area. FEMA money has been allotted to repair this. As of June 2024, construction is under way to make these repairs.
