History in a Pecan Shell

Tampico was on the Fort Worth and Denver Railroad and was named after the coastal Mexican capital city of Tamaulipas state, Mexico.

Drillers in 1929 were hoping the appropriated name would bring in an equally rich oil field.

After drilling ceased, the population dwindled to only 25 persons, and one lone business. By the mid-1960s there were still 12 diehard residents, but no statistics are available after that.
