Separate drinking fountains for different racial groups began to be established in the United States during the late 19th century, particularly after the passage of Jim Crow laws in the 1890s. These laws enforced racial segregation in public facilities, including drinking fountains, which were often labeled "whites only" and "colored." The separation of drinking fountains became a symbol of racial discrimination and inequality during this period.
