Dixon History

Dixon is a little town with a BIG history. The following timeline is a highlight of the town’s history:

• Dixon was settled in 1852 during the California Gold Rush by Elijah S. Silvey.
• The town was relocated to be near the California Pacific Railroad in 1871 through the efforts of Thomas Dickson, a farmer and prominent citizen who served as minister and school teacher, and Peter Timm, a cabinetmaker from Denmark. The tracks crossed the land of Thomas Dickson who donated 10 acres of land for the town move and a railroad depot.
• The town was renamed to Dicksonville. The first rail shipment arrived in 1872, mistakenly addressed to 'Dixon’. Despite protests from the citizens, the County Recorder filed the name 'Dixon’ on new maps in 1874 and the name was thus official.
• By 1877, the population had grown to 1200.
• On March 30, 1878, the State of California granted approval for Dixon to incorporate.
