Caliente, Railroad city in Lincoln County, Nevada, United States.
Caliente is a small city in southeastern Nevada at about 4,400 feet (1,340 meters) elevation, known for its Spanish-influenced architecture and cottonwood trees. The city has public parks, a swimming pool, and trails that connect to nearby mountain areas.
The city began in 1901 when a landowner allowed railroad construction through his property, creating an important transportation hub. This early railroad connection brought rapid growth and shaped its development.
The old railroad depot reflects how the train shaped daily life here and remains a gathering place that celebrates that heritage. Local buildings still show the Spanish architectural influences that arrived with the railroad era.
The city offers good conditions for outdoor activities with parks, trails, and a swimming pool for recreation. Its location near mountain areas and a nearby state park makes it a practical base for exploring the region.
Despite its young founding, the city's 1923 railroad depot still stands as a central landmark that houses municipal services and local heritage. This preserved building remains the heart of how residents connect with their past.
