Nixa traces its origins back to the mid-1800s with
the movement of farmers and traders into this
fertile soil region of Southwest Missouri. The first
settlers were farmers who chose to locate their
homes along the wooded streams in the vicinity of
present day Nixa. The growing community quickly
became known as a stopover or crossroads site, as
the community was about a half-day's ride with a
team of horses from Springfield. It became a
convenient stopping point for teamsters hauling
supplies from Arkansas to Springfield and for those
traveling to the lower James River and Arkansas. |

Rapid residential growth has spurred new business
development in Nixa. Several new retail, convenience and
service-oriented businesses have located in the
community since 1990 and expansion of existing
industries is underway. Financial institutions have
constructed new offices and two Springfield hospitals
have opened satellite medical clinics to serve the
growing Nixa population. Improved community facilities
and services, such as the community center, police
station and utility office, have been developed to serve
the needs of the Nixa population into the 21st century. |
