  Rio Frio, Texas, is located off U.S. Highway 83 at the FM 1120 crossing, parallel to the 200-mile long Frio River. Rio Frio is not considered a town in the conventional sense because it does not have its own government and, therefore, is considered an unincorporated community. Historically, the town was settled by previous residents of the nearby town of Leakey between 1856 and 1860. Though the population has never exceeded 75 people, the area around Rio Frio is teaming with recreation enthusiasts, attracting campers, fishermen and hikers.
