In 1872, a high station was established to serve as a retreat center due to the cooler climate on the island. The thermal baths were opened in 1917. The springs of thermal water and their virtues were discovered, according to some by T.G. Rosaas (Thorkild Guttormsen Rosaas) himself, according to others, in 1900, by Captain Roland Cadet (1861-1934), attracting people of illustrious families. Possessing rich volcanic soil, the Antsirabe region is one of the productive regions of the island. The city of Antsirabe has now become one of the most important industrial centers in the country.
