...the word "seltzer" comes from Niederselters, Germany, whose natural
pools of carbonated water were said to ease digestion. When Eastern
European immigrants settled in this country in the 1890s, they
continued their usual practice of drinking seltzer water. The
tradition then passed through the family line.
