Dixon Springs post office

The post office at Dixon Springs, a village in western Smith County, was established on October 31, 1800. Dixon Springs is still in operation today, at 4 Highers Drive, and has the ZIP Code designation of 37057.
==Name Changes==
Established in 1800 at the settlement of early pioneer Tilman Dixon, the post office was named "Dixon's Springs". On October 18, 1892, the name was slightly changed to "Dixon Spring", before finally arriving at its current appellation on September 15, 1921.
For a period between July 25, 1866 and July 11, 1867, postal service at Dixon's Springs was discontinued.
In 1870, when Trousdale County was erected by the state legislature, Dixon's Springs was included within the new county's borders. However, an 1874 lawsuit returned the territory to Smith County, due to a violation of the state constitution's restrictions on new county formation.
