Frio is an unincorporated community in Castro County, Texas, United States. [1] According to the Handbook of Texas , the community had an estimated population of 15 in 2000.
It was reported that the Frio Draw was the source of the community's name. In the early 1900s, a Baptist congregation was established in the region. Local sources suggest that the population of the surrounding area grew until the 1920s, even though no demographic numbers for the village were available until the 1970s. Herman Coe and L. T. Field of Wayland College led a religious revival that resulted in the official organization of the Frio Baptist Church in 1930. The site's buildings were dispersed, according to a 1936 map. Frio's population was estimated to be 65 in 1971. Up until the 1980s, the church remained the center of the village; in 1990, Frio was home to roughly sixty individuals. The population had fallen to fifteen by 2000. [2]

The Frio school, which was first founded in 1899 in a dugout on the northwest side of Frio Draw, served as the community's original hub. In 1903, a new schoolhouse was constructed through public subscription. The community constructed a brand-new, four-room brick schoolhouse in 1929. It was marked as a school on a map from 1936. Following the 1948 closure of the Frio school, the Frio Baptist Church started using the old schoolhouse as a means of fostering communal cohesion. The church eventually moved into a new structure in 1957, situated around half a mile north of the former school. [2]
