In 1581, Capit?n Francisco S?nchez Chamuscado took possession of this region for the King of Spain, naming it the Province of San Felipe. Significant European settlement of the area, however, did not occur until the mid-1800s. Once called Hot Springs because of its curative natural hot springs. "T or C" in 1950 took its present name from Ralph Edwards' radio program.| HM Number | HMUBZ |
