White Sulphur Springs is a city in Greenbrier County in southeastern West Virginia, United States.

[5] White Sulphur Springs grew in the first half of the nineteenth century as the southern "Queen of the Watering Places".

The springs resort first became the standard summer destination for wealthy Virginia Low Country residents seeking reprieve from heat, humidity, and disease of the "sickly season".

As its popularity increased and it gained status as a socially exclusive site, the springs attracted elite guests from all over.

The resort has another significant place in golf history; in 1979, it hosted the first Ryder Cup to feature the current competitive setup of the United States and European sides.

[6] In 1992 The Washington Post reported that, during the Cold War, the resort had been the site of a "bunker", the Emergency Relocation Center known as Project Greek Island, which was intended to house and protect the U.S. Congress in the event of a nuclear attack.

[7] In June 2016, there was a historic severe flood in West Virginia that impacted White Sulphur Springs.

[8][9][10] The Greenbrier has also served as a training camp location for the Houston Texans, New Orleans Saints, Cleveland Browns, Arizona Cardinals, New England Patriots, and San Francisco 49ers.

Services with AT&T, Verizon, Sprint, and U.S. Cellular is allowed within the area under lower tower frequencies.

The Alleghany Subdivision of the main line of the former Chesapeake and Ohio Railway (now part of CSX) runs through White Sulphur Springs.

[citation needed] In 1987 the White Sulphur Springs Library was rebuilt from the old community house.
