Hico

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, FEMA flood maps, county appraisal districts.
