Caliento was one of 15 original church communities that developed from the Stuartburn colony in the early 1900s.
It is claimed that the name of the town came from the Spanish word "caliente" meaning warm.
This railway had a significant impact on the geography and economy of the Stuartburn colony.
1,285 farmers lived on this land and the average farm had one horse, five cattle, a pig, and only twenty acres cultivated.
It seems they were stuck in the pioneer stage while other communities developed faster and generated wealth four times as quick.
