The History of Kepwel goes back more than 300 years. As legend has it, the Lenape Indians would come to the springs every summer and camp on the banks of the spring fed pond. They were thought to have picked the area of the springs because of the legendary healing powers of the water. In one account the Lenape King Ockanickon was carried to the spring from a great distance on his death bed to be revived by the healing powers of the free flowing spring water. The area surrounding the spring became know as the "Cold Indian Springs" section of what we now call Wayside. In the Mid 1700's Benjamin Woolley became the first white owner of the property, after purchasing the Cold Indian Spring parcel from the Lenape Indians for 1 barrel of whiskey. Next "Quaker Billy" Layton purchased the land and built a house on it. Around 1872 descendants of Quaker Billy began bottling and selling the spring water, then called Cold Indian Springs, in small and large glass bottles. Later, my Great Grandfather William Morrell bought the property and spring water business. He also developed and opened a private bathing area around the spring called Kepwel Park. In the late 1930's, after much notoriety with Kepwel Park he changed the name of the bottling company to Kepwel Spring Water and began using the slogan "Keep well with Kepwel". Our company still bottles from the same pure natural spring that the Lenape Indians believed to have mystical healing powers. We think its the best natural spring water anywhere and we hope you do too! |
