About Nixon

Nixon is a quiet community tucked into the South Texas countryside, straddling the line between Gonzales and Wilson counties. With a population of around 2,300, it offers a slow-paced rural lifestyle while keeping residents within reach of bigger hubs. Floresville is a short drive west, and San Antonio is about an hour northwest along Highway 87, making city trips and commutes manageable. The local school district, family-owned diners, and small-town shops form the heart of daily routine here.

Founded in 1906 when the railroad came through rancher John T. Nixon’s land, the town quickly grew into a regional trading post for area farmers. Though the trains stopped rolling in the 1970s, those deep agricultural roots remain central to the area. Today, livestock, poultry farming, and oilfield services provide a solid working foundation, making Nixon a grounded spot for anyone looking for open land and a close-knit community.
