History

Trinity Springs was originally known as Harrisonville, and under the latter name was platted in 1837.[3] It is the site of three natural springs and was a popular tourist destination in the early 1900s; at one point, seven different hotels operated in the community.[4] The town was briefly the county seat in the 1800s.[5]

A post office was established at Trinity Springs in 1848, and remained in operation until it was discontinued in 1943.[6]

A rock outcrop covered in historic graffiti and the remains of a historic swimming pool situated next to a natural sulphur spring are most of what is left of the resort, commemorated by a historic sign at Mustering Elm Park along State Road 450.

gollark: Well, I have a program for the function-generating bit.
gollark: Thanks to Mafs™ you can algorithmically generate various sorts of function which produces the values the question specifies for x = 1, 2, 3 and whatever it says, but then some wildly different answer for anything else.
