built 659 days ago
The city of Caliente is located in Central Lincoln County on U.S. Highway 93, 150 miles north of Las Vegas. William A. Clark, senator from Montana, and E. H. Harriman of the Union Pacific Railroad established the town in 1901 during the construction of the San Pedro, Los Angeles and Salt LakeRailroad. It prospered as a division point on the railroad for nearly fifty years, until its shops and roundhouse were deactivated after World War II. Caliente's large mission-style depot was constructed during the years of the railroad. The structure became a museum, community center, and library in the 1990s.

Within a few years, Caliente grew to more than 5,000 residents. For more than 40 years, Caliente was one of the major division points on the railroad line. When steam engines were replaced by diesel locomotives in the 1940's, the division point moved to Las Vegas. Without the depot as a main railroad stop, the town’s growth dwindled but not its spirit.
