Sanitarium (formerly, Crystal Springs)[2] is an unincorporated community in Napa County, California.[1] It lies at an elevation of 587 feet (179 m).[1] Sanitarium is located 2.5 miles (4.0 km) north of Saint Helena.[2]

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]
