Dixon is a small agricultural settlement that holds the Little Snake River Valley Rodeo. Specially trained horses are worked by cowboys in the Cutting Horse Contest. Dixon is located four miles west of Savery and seven miles east of Baggs.
Dixon was named after a trapper, Robert Dixon. Robert Dixon hoped to see the rail road come through the Laramie Plains. He was killed in an Arapaho raid one year before the Union Pacific came through.
