Nickerson – History
The original town site of Nickerson was platted in 1875 by the railroad company, one mile east of the present site. In 1872, a depot was built at that point, and the station was known as Nickerson, so named in honor of Thomas Nickerson, then President of the A., T. & S. F. Railway. The next building was erected by the railroad company in the fall of 1872, and used as a section house. In the fall of 1874, a schoolhouse was built. In August 1875 Dr. L. A. Reeves erected a two-story frame building, and opened a store of goods. In 1876 he sold his store to A. Sievart. For the next two years these buildings comprised "Old Nickerson." In October, 1878, the present town site of Nickerson was platted on ground which was then covered by an extensive corn field owned by Mr. Sears. A very few days after the town site was surveyed, James Devitt commenced the foundation for the hotel known as the Dominion House. About the same time A. L. Harlow began the foundations for a building, afterwards known as the Harlow House. Before these buildings were completed, Dr. L. A. Reeves moved the building now occupied as the post office from Old Nickerson. With the exception of a small frame structure, occupied by John Sears, it was the first building on the town site. By March, 1879, Dr. Reeves had the whole block built, now known as the Reeves Block. Probably the first building built on the town site was a drug store erected by M. McCormick, in October, 1878. This was followed by a building used as a general store, and occupied by Sievart & Smith. Within sixty days Nickerson had two hotels, one dozen stores, two livery stables, two lumber yards and a printing office.
