History

Nimmons was established as a stop along the St. Louis, Kennett and Southeastern Railroad (later part of the St. Louis–San Francisco Railway) in 1901, and was named for a railroad worker. The town was granted its own post office (since closed) in 1903, and several businesses, fueled by the timber industry, operated in the town over the next two decades. The town began to decline after timber resources in the area were exhausted.

Ecologically, Nimmons is located within the St. Francis Lowlands ecoregion within the larger Mississippi Alluvial Plain.

Waterways have mostly been channelized, causing loss of aquatic and riparian wildlife habitat.
