Soon after the outbreak of World War I, Nixon established a massive volatile chemicals processing facility there, known as the Nixon Nitration Works. It was the site of the 1924 Nixon Nitration Works disaster, a massive explosion and resulting fire that killed 20 persons and destroyed several square miles around the plant.[3] References1. ^1 {{cite gnis|878807|Nixon}} {{Edison, New Jersey}}{{Middlesex County, New Jersey}}{{MiddlesexCountyNJ-geo-stub}}2. ^Locality Search, State of New Jersey.
