How did carlsbad caverns national park get is name?

Carlsbad Caverns National Park got its name from the nearby town of Carlsbad, New Mexico. The town was named after the Carlsbad mineral springs in Bohemia, which were thought to have healing properties. The caverns were discovered in 1898 by a local rancher, and their unique limestone formations and large cave chambers led to the area being designated as a national park in 1930. The name reflects both the geographical location and the influential mineral springs that inspired the town's name.
