History
Incorporated on February 21, 1893, Calera gets its name from a Spanish word meaning limestone. Before its incorporation, the town was known as “Lime Kiln Station,” because of its location in the heart of the vast lime producing area of the State. This area is one of the largest chemical lime producing areas in the United States.
