Return to Index Location Dixon location: 19 miles southwest of Sacramento, along Interstate 80 Return to Index History & History Related Items Dixon history: Elijah S. Silvey was the first settler of Dixon in 1852. He came to strike it rich in the gold fields, but changed his mind and opened an inn along the well-traveled stage coach route to the gold area. The growing settlement was known as Silveyville. Around 1870, the Vaca Valley railroad began to extend its lines to the area, but would not come through Silveyville. Instead, the line went across land owned by a local minister and teacher, Thomas Dickson. The people of Silveyville realized they would have to move to the tracks since the tracks were not going to come to them. Thus, Silveyville, with Dickson supervising the project, moved itself to the railroad tracks on Dickson's land. A local cabinetmaker, Peter Timm, moved the buildings on large flat cars. Some of these buildings still stand today. In 1874, the name was officially changed, not to Dicksonville, as proposed, but simply Dixon because the County recorder felt it was easier.
