* Incorporation of the town proved to be a major step forward because it provided a government that could function and enable the town not only to grow but to furnish water, police and fire protection, paved streets and garbage collection for the town and the school. As time progressed the growth of the town was largely tied to the growth of the Boiling Springs High School which became the Boiling Springs Junior College in 1928, Gardner Webb Junior College in 1942, and finally after achieving status as a senior college and developing several graduate programs, Gardner–Webb University in 1993.
* Aside from the university, Boiling Springs has a little bit of other amenities to offer. It has dollar stores, a few fast food places, a bit of local restaurants and businesses, AmericInn, Ingles, Nintendo World, a landing strip, a few public battle fields, a sports complex, CVS, a YMCA branch, and a few other things.
