Legacy in California: Arrowhead & Calistoga

Arrowhead was first bottled in 1894 and became part of Nestlé Waters North America in 1987. It is California’s top selling natural spring water.  Native Americans discovered the original spring for Arrowhead Mountain Spring Water. They were pointed to the source after sighting a natural rock formation appearing high in the San Bernardino Mountains in the distinct shape of an arrowhead.  California also hosts Calistoga. Founded in 1924 in the Napa Valley it joined the company in 1982. Calistoga is the largest selling domestic sparkling mineral water.
