The settlement was founded in 1878 by Seventh-day Adventists who opened a sanitarium that they called the Rural Health Retreat at Crystal Springs, later St. Helena Sanitarium, and now St. Helena Hospital.^[2][3][4] The community that developed around the sanitarium was called Sanitarium.^[2]

The Sanitarium post office operated from 1901 to 1970, when it was removed and renamed Deer Park.^[2]
