General Information about Wells

Wells is a town in Elko County, in northeast Nevada in the western United States. The population was 1,346 at the 2000 census. The site of Wells began as simply a named place called Humboldt Wells along the trail to California. It was subsequently founded as a railroad town along the original Transcontinental Railroad, and was once a stopover for passenger trains. The Humboldt River has its source in springs and a swampy area just west of town which is today called Humboldt Wells. In the late 1800s the town of Humboldt Wells was burning down, and in a frantic plea for help, a telegraph was sent that said, "Wells is burning". After this the town was rebuilt and simply referred to as 'Wells'.
The Lone Star Motel located in Wells was used in the 2001 film Joy Ride for a critical scene.
