THE DEFINITION OF ISOLATED: CALIENTE PICTURES


AN OVERVIEW Provided by Wikipedia.com

Caliente /kæliˈɛnti/, formerly known as Culverwell and Calientes is a city in Lincoln County, Nevada, United States. Its elevation is 4,300 feet (1,310 meters). The population was 1,130 at the 2010 census. The city's name originated from the nearby hot springs, as "caliente" is the Spanish word meaning "hot".[1]Caliente 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 a museum that exhibits historical information. The town once reached a peak of over 5,000 residents, but its population continually declined.[1]The Caliente Railroad Depot is a 2 story Union Pacific Railroad depot located next to the rail line. It houses the city's offices, a library, and a gallery.

According 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 vs 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.
