Waconda Springs, a hamlet of Mitchell county, named after the chief god of the Kaw Indians, is located in the northwest corner of the county, in Cawker township, on the Missouri Pacific R. R., and at the junction of the two forks of the Solomon river, 20 miles west of Beloit, the county seat, and about 2 miles west of Cawker City, from which place it receives mail. The population in 1910 was 32. Near the town is the noted spring of the same name, from which water is shipped to be used for its health giving properties. This was one of the earliest established towns of the county, and in 1871 was quite an important little village. Most of the buildings were later moved to Cawker City.
