Honoring the Heritage

Kyuka Water: A Legacy Flowing Through Time

Tucked into the foothills of the Appalachian Mountains in Attalla, Alabama, Kyuka Springs is more than just a natural spring—it’s a living piece of history.

A Name Rooted in Cherokee Heritage

Long before settlers arrived, this land was home to the Cherokee Nation and was known as Big Wills Valley.

Kyuka Water is deeply rooted in the rich traditions of Native American culture, particularly the Cherokee heritage. Our journey begins with the understanding that water is not just a necessary resource but a sacred element that connects us to our ancestors and the land.

Each drop of Kyuka Water embodies the purity and respect for nature that has been passed down through generations, honoring the original stewards of this land.

The name Kyuka comes from Chief Cuyuga, a respected Cherokee leader and the father of Chief Duck, whose name lives on through nearby Duck Springs. Chief Cuyuga is said to have lived near the very spring that now provides the water for Kyuka Waters.

From Yancey Spring to Kyuka Waters

When early settlers began to make their homes in the valley, one of the first families to arrive was the Yancey family. Old maps mark the spring as Yancey Spring, a testament to its historical significance to both Native and settler communities.

Today, that same spring—now known as Kyuka Springs—continues to provide a pure, reliable source of naturally filtered spring water, just as it has for centuries.

Naturally Superior Hydration

Fed by a subterranean river, Kyuka Springs delivers an abundant and consistent flow of water—untouched by chemical processing. It’s water the way nature intended: crisp, clean, and refreshing.

This natural aquifer is not just a geological marvel, but a hydrating force that has quietly sustained generations. And the best part? It’s still doing exactly that—bottled with care to be delivered to homes and businesses across the area.

A Legendary Past

Local lore even claims that Davy Crockett and Andrew Jackson once refreshed themselves at Kyuka Springs during the Creek Indian War.

Whether myth or memory, these stories add another rich layer to the spring’s legendary past.

From Local Treasure to Household Staple

In 2015, the company was acquired by Water Way Distributing Co. of Birmingham, which expanded its delivery reach while preserving the small-town values and commitment to excellence that made Kyuka a local favorite.

Water with Roots

Kyuka Springs isn't just about water—it's about honoring history, preserving purity, and delivering a product with soul.

Every bottle carries the weight of legacy and the clarity of nature. The Native American–inspired logo seen on every bottle of Kyuka Water honors this heritage—a tribute to the original stewards of the land.

From the deep roots of Cherokee heritage to the delivery trucks on Alabama backroads, Kyuka Water is the past, present, and future of the healthiest of hydration.
