Kislovodsk was founded in 1803 as a military outpost of the Grand Duchy of Russia. The mineral springs of the area has been recognized by then, and the founding of the town helped in its further development. The name Kislovodsk means "sour water", a description of the Kislovodsk's waters which are said to have therapeutic properties. In the late 19th and early 20th century, the spa attracted numerous Russians of the upper echelon, among them Russian aristocrats, artists and musicians.
