  • Cold Spring was so called as early as 1793.
  • It was known as Goodale's spring as early 1658, because Robert Goodale owned it and lived in the field northeasterly of it at the time.
  • According to the Visitor's Guide to Salem (1937 ed.) Liberty Hill had been a park and a favorite resort for many people on account of the "Cold Spring". These springs of pure cold water have been used for centuries.
