| Had a post office until 1954. Submitted by: David Sadewasser About Adaven, Nevada- was named by a Mr.Carpenter when they needed a name for the new post office,not sure of date. The name ADAVEN is Nevada spelled backwards! I used to live in caliente and my husbands relatives are Carpenters fron Adaven.Submitted by Sue Williams. Thomas Sharp was a rancher who settled there in the 1870s. A small settlement formed around the ranch and the population remained around twenty-five for the next fifty years. On May1, 1939, the town was renamed Adaven ( Nevada spelled backwards). There are still small ranches in and around Adaven and a number of small buildings remain. The main ranch belongs to the Sharp family to this day.
