Chico sits at State Highway 101 and FM 1810 in northwestern Wise County, north of Bridgeport. The community’s history spans farm trade, railroad service and later oil and stone-production activity. Its road junction provides a useful starting point for understanding where the town sits within the county.

### Check at the address, not the town name

- Confirm the incorporated boundary when comparing an in-town property with surrounding rural land.
- Check parcel access, utility connections and any recorded easements before relying on a general location description.
- School attendance zones, flood risk, HOA obligations, utilities and property taxes follow the exact address. Use current records: [TEA school district locator](https://tea.texas.gov/families-and-students/school-district-locator/school-district-locator?ref=tx.co), [FEMA flood maps](https://msc.fema.gov/portal/home?ref=tx.co), [county appraisal districts](https://comptroller.texas.gov/taxes/property-tax/county-directory/?ref=tx.co).
