Warm Springs, Nevada

Warm Springs, Nevada is town in Nye County, Nevada, located near the mountain pass which divides the Kawich and Hot Creek ranges (at coord|38.19|N|116.37|W|). It is located at the junction of U.S. Route 6 and State Route 375 (the "Extraterrestrial Highway"), around 40 miles east of Tonopah.

History

The first settlement in Warm Springs was in 1866, when it served as a stopover for stagecoaches and other travellers. Never more than a tiny settlement, Warm Springs' population dwindled until it became a ghost town. All that remained was a single streetlight, a telephone box, and several huts built over pools filled by the warm springs that give the town its name.

Warm Springs is also the name of a new community in Nevada at a different location, intended to have a final population of 10,000. Construction is scheduled to be complete by 2007. Its ZIP code is 89049.
