Dix is a village in Kimball County, Nebraska, United States. The population was 187 at the 2020 census.

History

Originally a siding on the Union Pacific Railroad,[4] Dix was founded as a settlement in 1886.[5] The community derives its name from Dixon, Illinois, the former home of an early settler.[6][7] However, it was deemed necessary to shorten the name to "Dix", in order to avoid repetition with Dixon.[8] State highway 30 runs through Dix, and in 1995 was changed from "Main" street to "Miller" street (within the city limits of Dix). This was done in honor of Fred H. Miller, who worked for the Union Pacific for 30 years and ran the town's train depot. The train depot was dismantled after Fred's retirement. Fred also served on the town board, and lived two blocks away from the depot next to the city park with his wife Ada B. Miller. Their memorial stone is located in the graveyard south of town, near Interstate 80.
