Tehachapi Mountains • Caliente CA • 06/16/24

            Caliente (Spanish for "Hot") is an unincorporated community in Kern County, California, located 22 miles (35 km) east-southeast of Bakersfield, at an elevation of 1,312 feet (400 m).  This community has a population of 1,019.

Caliente, established in the 1870s, was originally named Allens Camp for a cattle rancher and settler named Gabriel Allen. Later, the name Agua Caliente, coming from hot springs in the area, was proposed and may have been used. However, this name conflicted with the community of the same name in Sonoma County. With the Southern Pacific Railroad's arrival in 1875, the shortened name Caliente was adopted.

Caliente prospered during Southern Pacific Railroad's construction of the Tehachapi Pass line. For a time, the Telegraph Stage Line and the Cerro Gordo Freighting Co. also ran through Caliente and its full-time population grew to 200. There were approximately 60 buildings, including 20 or more saloons.  But the town is nothing like that today…
