HistoryThe history of Nixon is defined by the dissolution of some of its major institutions. Nixon NewsIn the early 20th-century, Nixon had a local newspaper titled Nixon News. It was forced to cease publication in the September of 1921. The editor cited reasons ranging from a lack of advertisement in the paper, lack of support from local businesses and apathy from the general community. The Daily Advocate newspaper of Victoria, Texas, during this period, suggested that the downscaling of another significant Texan paper was a related trend.[9] Texas Sheltered CareIn 2007, a former private facility in Nixon, "Texas Sheltered Care", that held children caught illegally crossing the US-Mexico border, was ordered closed due to allegations of sexual abuse. It operated under contract of the federal government's Department of Health and Human Services. Its 72 residents were sent to other shelters outside of Nixon, due to a lack of confidence of being able to reopen in the city. Immigration lawyers were forced to abandon their Nixon practices that served the detainees in the facility.[10] The FBI and local authorities investigated the alleged incidents, with an accused staff member fired.[11] The accused was later criminally charged and sentenced to prison.[12] Notable people
Manuel ZepedaIn 2018, former Nixon city manager and local substitute teacher, Manuel Zepeda, was charged with 11 sexual felonies against children.[13] Auvye TrammelIn 2011, former Nixon Councilman Auvye Trammel, having once served 21 years on the city council through two terms,[14] was sentenced to 18 months in federal prison for connections with drug trafficking marijuana from Mexico; Trammel had posted bail for a known trafficker. He had also been prior charged for a chase involving the trafficker.[15] The then-current Nixon police chief was fired during the trafficking investigation just prior to Trammel’s arrest; the former chief cites reasons of retaliation for investigating the then-councilman, while the city claims he failed to meet occupational standards.[16] References1. ^1 {{cite web|url=http://factfinder2.census.gov|publisher=United States Census Bureau|accessdate=2008-01-31|title=American FactFinder}} {{Greater San Antonio}}{{Gonzales County, Texas}}{{Wilson County, Texas}}2. ^{{cite web|url=http://geonames.usgs.gov|accessdate=2008-01-31|title=US Board on Geographic Names|publisher=United States Geological Survey|date=2007-10-25}} 3. ^[https://www.cityofnixon.org/history/ A compact neighborhood of around 2,385 people, the people and council of Nixon...] 4. ^{{cite web|title=Population and Housing Unit Counts, 2010 Census of Population and Housing|url=https://www.census.gov/prod/cen2010/cph-2-45.pdf|publisher=Texas: 2010|accessdate=2017-01-06}} 5. ^{{cite web|url=https://www.census.gov/geo/www/gazetteer/gazette.html|publisher=United States Census Bureau|accessdate=2011-04-23|date=2011-02-12|title=US Gazetteer files: 2010, 2000, and 1990}} 6. ^{{cite web|title=Boundary Map of Nixon, Texas|url=https://www.maptechnica.com/city-map/Nixon/TX/4851588|website=MapTechnica|accessdate=2017-01-06}} 7. ^{{cite web|url=https://www.census.gov/programs-surveys/popest/data/tables.2016.html|title=Population and Housing Unit Estimates|accessdate=June 9, 2017}} 8. ^{{cite web|url=https://www.census.gov/prod/www/decennial.html|title=Census of Population and Housing|publisher=Census.gov|accessdate=June 4, 2015}} 9. ^[https://img.newspapers.com/clip/22356468/daily_advocate/ NIXON NEWS IS FORCED TO QUIT ITS PUBLICATION We have on our desk the final copy of the Nixon News, edited and owned by Riley Webb at Nixon, Texas.
