This settlement along the banks of the Pecos River was first known as the Town of Eddy, which was organized as a municipality in 1893. Due to the mineral springs north of town, its name was changed to Carlsbad, after the famous European spa, Karlsbad. Carlsbad became a city in 1918. The town gained international recognition with the discovery of the "Bat Cave" in 1901 and the establishment of the Carlsbad National Park in 1930.
