The name Comanche Springs was an aquifer of six Springs. The military built Camp Stockton around the springs and would eventually become the town of Fort Stockton. In the center of town a natural spring pool was made around to of the large springs. The springs quit flowing in the 1960s because so many farmers upstream drilled wells that the springs were pumped dry. After 25 years the springs started flowing again in the late winter months.
