About Cal-Nev-Ari

Cal-Nev-Ari is a census-designated place on U.S. Route 95 in Clark County, Nevada, United States, near the state's southernmost point. As of the 2020 census, Cal-Nev-Ari had a population of 144. The town's name is a syllabic abbreviation of California, Nevada, and Arizona.

Cal-Nev-Ari was created in 1965 by Nancy and Everette "Slim" Kidwell, who acquired a 640-acre (260 ha; 1.00 sq mi) section of land from the U.S. government and commenced development of an airport-based community, an hour by road from Las Vegas. In addition to the FAA-designated Kidwell Airport, the community has grown over the years to include a casino, motel, RV and mobile home parks, convenience market, and over 100 residential lots.

The town was listed for sale in 2016 for $8 million, although it had been originally listed in 2010 for $17 million. It sold for the $8 million price to Heart of Nature, an organic minerals company, which plans to use the water to manufacture sulfur products for farms.
