In 2000, the population was 87, many of whom were descendants of the town founders.[6] HistoryThe town was founded in 1873 by former slaves. Jeff Carter, a civic leader during the early years of the settlement suggested the name Nigton. In 1894 a post office was established. By 1896 the community had 3 churches, a saw mill and gin, a wagon maker, a shoemaker, and a reported population of 500. The post office was closed in 1923. In the 1940s only a school, church, and store remained. It had a population of only 10 residents. In the 1990s the population began to grow reporting 34 residents in the 1990 United States Census, many of which were descendents of the original settlers. By the 2000 United States Census the population was 87.[7] External Links
