Red Sulphur Springs is an unincorporated community in western
Monroe County on
Indian Creek. The community is best known as the site of the
Red Sulphur Spring, an mineral spring, the waters of which were believed to possess healing properties. From 1800 until World War I, a resort located around the spring welcomed guests, many of who imbibed and bathed in its "healing" waters. Now a private residence, a hotel building overlooking the site is all that remains of the resort complex. W.Va. Route 12 courses through the community between
Peterstown, WV, to the south, and
Hinton, WV, to the north.
