Richard Milhous Nixon was born on January 9, 1913 in Yorba Linda, California to parents Francis Anthony Nixon (1878-1956) and Hannah Elizabeth Milhous (1885-1967). He was one of five children in his family. Nixon spent his early years on his family's lemon farm and later moved to Whittier, California, where he attended high school and college.
Following his undergraduate studies, Nixon received a scholarship to attend Duke University School of Law, where he earned his law degree in 1937.
He then began his political career where he rose to prominence as a member of the U.S. House of Representatives from California in the late 1940s, where he gained national attention for his role in the Alger Hiss case. Nixon then served as Dwight D. Eisenhower's vice president from 1953 to 1961, during which he played a significant role in shaping Cold War policies and handling international crises.
After losing the 1960 presidential election to John F. Kennedy, Nixon staged a political comeback, winning the presidency in 1968 and again in 1972. His presidency was marked by significant domestic and foreign policy initiatives, including the establishment of the Environmental Protection Agency, desegregation efforts, and diplomatic openings with China and the Soviet Union.
However, Nixon's administration was also marred by the Watergate scandal, leading to his resignation in 1974, making him the only U.S. president to resign from office.
Despite his resignation, Nixon remained a significant figure in American politics, continuing to influence public discourse through writing, speaking engagements, and international diplomacy until his death in 1994.

I'm a Founder of AncientFaces and support the community answering questions & helping members make connections to the past (thus my official title of Founder & Content and Community Support ). For me, it's been a labor of love for over 20 years. I truly believe with all of my heart that everyone should be remembered for generations to come.
I am 2nd generation San Jose and have seen a lot of changes in the area while growing up. We used to be known as the "Valley of Heart's Delight" (because the Valley was covered with orchards and there were many canneries to process the food grown here, which shipped all over the US) - now we have adopted the nickname "Capital of Silicon Valley" and Apple, Ebay, Adobe, Netflix, Facebook, and many more tech companies are within a few miles of my current home in San Jose (including AncientFaces). From a small town of 25,000, we have grown to 1 million plus. And when you add in all of the communities surrounding us (for instance, Saratoga, where I attended high school, living a block from our previous Mayor), we are truly one of the big cities in the US. I am so very proud of my hometown. For more information see Kathy - Founder & Content and Community Director My family began AncientFaces because we believe that unique photos and stories that show who people are/were should be shared with the world.
