Its elevation is 4,300 feet (1,310 meters). The population was 1,130 at the 2010 census, making it the least populated incorporated city in Nevada.[1] The city's name originated from the nearby hot springs, as "caliente" is the Spanish word meaning "hot".[2][3] HistoryCaliente was founded in 1901 on Culverwell Ranch (or just Culverwell), built on land owned by William and Charles Culverwell. The town was initially given the name of Calientes, due to the hot springs present in the area, but later in the year a post office was erected and workers removed the "s" from the name of the town. In 1905, the Union Pacific railroad was completed, followed by the construction of the train depot in the style of Spanish mission architecture. The train depot, built in 1923, is now home to some city and county offices and a museum that exhibits historical information. The town once reached a peak of over 5,000 residents, but its population continually declined.[2] Geography and climateAccording to the United States Census Bureau, the city has a total area of {{convert|1.9|sqmi|km2}}, all of it land. Caliente has high-desert typical for a location around 4,000ft in elevation. Winters are chilly, but only moderately cold. Summers are characterized by blazing sunshine, long days, cool nights, and high diurnal temperature range. January highs average in the mid 40s, while July averages mid 90s. A majority of precipitation occurs in the winter months (Nov - March) due to the yearly dip of the jetstream bringing Pacific storms. Temperatures in summer are very warm to hot. The July average of 95.4 degrees Fahrenheit means that 100-degree days are a common occurrence in a typical summer. The elevation, aridity, and clear skies allow intense radiative cooling, even in midsummer. This means hot days are followed by mild evenings. Southerly monsoon rains during Mid-July through September bring thunderstorms, increased dew points, and flash flooding. {{Weather box|collapsed= |open= |single line=yes |location=Caliente, Nevada (1903-2014) |temperature colour= |Jan record high F=71.0 |Feb record high F=81.0 |Mar record high F=90.0 |Apr record high F=94.0 |May record high F=103.0 |Jun record high F=109.0 |Jul record high F=110.0 |Aug record high F=108.0 |Sep record high F=106.0 |Oct record high F=95.0 |Nov record high F=82.0 |Dec record high F=71.0 |year record high F= |Jan high F=46.4 |Feb high F=52.4 |Mar high F=60.7 |Apr high F=68.9 |May high F=78.6 |Jun high F=88.6 |Jul high F=95.4 |Aug high F=93.1 |Sep high F=85.3 |Oct high F=73.4 |Nov high F=59.1 |Dec high F=48.3 |year high F= |Jan mean F= |Feb mean F= |Mar mean F= |Apr mean F= |May mean F= |Jun mean F= |Jul mean F= |Aug mean F= |Sep mean F= |Oct mean F= |Nov mean F= |Dec mean F= |year mean F= |Jan low F=17.7 |Feb low F=22.9 |Mar low F=28.3 |Apr low F=34.3 |May low F=42.0 |Jun low F=49.5 |Jul low F=56.6 |Aug low F=55.3 |Sep low F=46.1 |Oct low F=35.1 |Nov low F=25.1 |Dec low F=18.9 |year low F= |Jan record low F=-9.0 |Feb record low F=-9.0 |Mar record low F=2.0 |Apr record low F=15.0 |May record low F=22.0 |Jun record low F=33.0 |Jul record low F=40.0 |Aug record low F=34.0 |Sep record low F=25.0 |Oct record low F=10.0 |Nov record low F=0.0 |Dec record low F=-9.0 |year record low F= |precipitation colour=green |Jan precipitation inch=0.82 |Feb precipitation inch=0.94 |Mar precipitation inch=1.01 |Apr precipitation inch=0.69 |May precipitation inch=0.53 |Jun precipitation inch=0.33 |Jul precipitation inch=0.78 |Aug precipitation inch=0.90 |Sep precipitation inch=0.61 |Oct precipitation inch=0.80 |Nov precipitation inch=0.68 |Dec precipitation inch=0.66 |year precipitation inch= |rain colour= |Jan rain inch = |Feb rain inch = |Mar rain inch = |Apr rain inch = |May rain inch = |Jun rain inch = |Jul rain inch = |Aug rain inch = |Sep rain inch = |Oct rain inch = |Nov rain inch = |Dec rain inch = |year rain inch = |snow colour= |Jan snow inch=3.5 |Feb snow inch=2.7 |Mar snow inch=1.2 |Apr snow inch=0.2 |May snow inch=0 |Jun snow inch=0 |Jul snow inch=0 |Aug snow inch=0 |Sep snow inch=0 |Oct snow inch=0.1 |Nov snow inch=0.7 |Dec snow inch=2.9 |year snow inch= |humidity colour= |Jan humidity= |Feb humidity= |Mar humidity= |Apr humidity= |May humidity= |Jun humidity= |Jul humidity= |Aug humidity= |Sep humidity= |Oct humidity= |Nov humidity= |Dec humidity= |year humidity= |Jan maximum humidex= |Feb maximum humidex= |Mar maximum humidex= |Apr maximum humidex= |May maximum humidex= |Jun maximum humidex= |Jul maximum humidex= |Aug maximum humidex= |Sep maximum humidex= |Oct maximum humidex= |Nov maximum humidex= |Dec maximum humidex= |year maximum humidex= |Jan chill= |Feb chill= |Mar chill= |Apr chill= |May chill= |Jun chill= |Jul chill= |Aug chill= |Sep chill= |Oct chill= |Nov chill= |Dec chill= |year chill= |unit precipitation days= |precip days colour= |Jan precipitation days= |Feb precipitation days= |Mar precipitation days= |Apr precipitation days= |May precipitation days= |Jun precipitation days= |Jul precipitation days= |Aug precipitation days= |Sep precipitation days= |Oct precipitation days= |Nov precipitation days= |Dec precipitation days= |year precipitation days= |unit rain days= |Jan rain days= |Feb rain days= |Mar rain days= |Apr rain days= |May rain days= |Jun rain days= |Jul rain days= |Aug rain days= |Sep rain days= |Oct rain days= |Nov rain days= |Dec rain days= |year rain days= |unit snow days= |Jan snow days= |Feb snow days= |Mar snow days= |Apr snow days= |May snow days= |Jun snow days= |Jul snow days= |Aug snow days= |Sep snow days= |Oct snow days= |Nov snow days= |Dec snow days= |year snow days= |Jan sun= |Feb sun= |Mar sun= |Apr sun= |May sun= |Jun sun= |Jul sun= |Aug sun= |Sep sun= |Oct sun= |Nov sun= |Dec sun= |year sun= |Jand sun= |Febd sun= |Mard sun= |Aprd sun= |Mayd sun= |Jund sun= |Juld sun= |Augd sun= |Sepd sun= |Octd sun= |Novd sun= |Decd sun= |yeard sun= |Jan percentsun= |Feb percentsun= |Mar percentsun= |Apr percentsun= |May percentsun= |Jun percentsun= |Jul percentsun= |Aug percentsun= |Sep percentsun= |Oct percentsun= |Nov percentsun= |Dec percentsun= |year percentsun= |source 1=[4] }} Demographics{{US Census population|1940= 970 |1950= 792 |1960= 916 |1970= 982 |1980= 1111 |1990= 1123 |2000= 1130 |2010= 1130 |estyear=2016 |estimate=1108 |estref=[5] |footnote=U.S. Decennial Census[6] }} As of the census[7] of 2000, there were 1,123 people, 408 households, and 241 families residing in the city.

FLDS controversyAccording to testimony given in the criminal case, Utah v. Warren Jeffs, the Hot Springs Motel located in Caliente is the site of several forced marriages between under-aged girls and older men. The hotel was owned and operated by members of the Fundamentalist Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints (FLDS Church). This was verified in grand jury testimony involving the trial Arizona v. Warren Jeffs. Warren Jeffs was the leader of the polygamous FLDS Church, and before his capture was on the FBI Ten Most Wanted Fugitives list.
