Nixon is a Village in Norfolk County, Ontario, Canada that is almost exclusively residential. This community is east of town of Delhi, northwest of town of Simcoe, and northeast of the hamlet of Pinegrove. Nixon's earliest known inhabitants, from around the year 1000 until approximately 300–350 years later, were the Algonquin nation. They were noted flint-workers and evidence of the skill in crafting arrowheads is still to be found in open worked field areas surrounding the village. The next wave of inhabitants were the Attawandaron nation, the Neutrals, who occupied the region from about 1350 until their absorption by the Iroquois 300 years later. The last significant native nation to occupy the area was the Mississaugas. ==Summary== Nixon has a municipal airport that is classified as a small general aviation aerodrome with no amenities for passenger flight airplanes. The local economy includes a variety of farms and a single office building where Nixon Public School was stationed from the 1950s until the early 2000s. Ever since Nixon Public School was closed due to the provincial government cutbacks on education, Nixon has become a bedroom community for people who can afford to live in a single-family house. No shops or grocery stores operate in this community; which means food must be either purchased directly from a farmer or from a grocery store in Simcoe/Delhi. Private automobiles and taxis are generally found in Nixon for the purpose of commuting as Ride Norfolk mass transit services doesn't have a bus stop in Nixon. The former public school was opened as a craft brewery and pub in September 2015. "New Limburg" Brewery is owned and operated by a family from the Netherlands, who brew several different Belgian-style beers. They are open daily until 11 pm for samples and sales. http://newlimburg.com/ 〔(''Microbrewery Coming to Nixon ) at The Simcoe Reformer〕 Norfolk County council personally had to approve the land's zoning change from educational to light industrial in order for Norfolk County's third microbrewery to be possible according to their set of by-laws.〔(''Third microbrewery coming to Norfolk County'' ) at Norfolk Farms〕 A gas station was once operated just southeast of Nixon, but was shut down due to the oil crisis in 1974. It appeared to be run-down and operated solely as a private residence even back in the late 1980s. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Nixon, Ontario」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
