Living in Dixon, CA

In the mid-1800s, Thomas Dickson arrived to the area and settled with his wife and five children. Nearly a decade after his settlement, Dickson decided to donate 10 acres of land that would serve as a depot and townsite on the California Pacific Railroad. In turn, the railroad superintendent designated the town's station to be named "Dickson." However, the first shipment of goods arriving by train was addressed to "W.R. Ferguson, Dixon," and residents have been spelling it that way ever since.

Today, Dixon remains a beautiful town that has retained its natural and historical features while still growing into the 21st century.
