Hico is in Hamilton County at the crossroads of US 281 and State Highways 6 and 220, beyond the core DFW counties. Its downtown includes an early twentieth-century city hall, and local visitor resources identify riverfront paths and Hico City Park. It is useful as a broader regional community, rather than being described as a Dallas suburb.

### Places to know

**Historic downtown Hico.** The city identifies its 1903 city hall as part of the local built history.

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

- Use Hamilton County records for the actual parcel rather than DFW-county resources.
- Check current visitor and museum information before a trip; historical accounts and operating attractions are different kinds of information.
- 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).
