Nixonton (also Nixons Town or Windmill Point) is an unincorporated community in Pasquotank County, North Carolina, United States.

[1] A small port, a hub for Quaker trade in the area, existed at the townsite from the 1740s.

In 1746, Zachariah Nixon (III, d. 1752), bequeathed 161.5 acres of the land north of the Little River of Albemarle Sound in Pasquotank County to be incorporated as a town.

In 1770, Nixonton was the only town in Pasquotank and in 1784 the Pasquotank court house was established Nixonton, which was also the county seat between 1785 (also when the town's prison was commissioned) and 1800, when it was replaced in both capacities by the newly-built Elizabeth (City).
