Understand
The Village of Yellow Springs was founded in 1825. It was named for a natural spring rich in iron ore located in The Glen Helen (http://www.glenhelen.org). Legend has it that if you drink from the spring you will always return.
The Village offers some of the best dining in the Dayton area, along with several artisan groups and a downtown bustling with side-walk shops. All of this lies a short distance from Ohio's best natural area, including John Bryan State Park (http://www.johnbryan.org/) and Glen Helen.
The Village can get quite congested on warm-weathered weekends, but nearly all of its attractions are open during weekdays, which offer less in the way of crowds. As of the 2000 census the population was 3,761.
