History of Nixa
|
|
Nixa was named after Nicholas A. Inman, a blacksmith who lived in the Nixa area at the time of establishment. The first four letters in Nicholas' name were added to his middle initial, which is A, hence the city name: Nixa. Family descendants owned the majority of the land around Nixa out to what is now Cox Road. Many of the family members still live in this area, in towns like Billings, Republic, and Springfield.[citation needed] A great-great-grandnephew of Inman's was elected mayor of Billings, Missouri. Some of Inman's family members are buried at Patterson Cemetery, located just off Hwy. 160.[citation needed] Nixa is the only city bearing that name in the world.
