Mico, Texas

Mico is an unincorporated community in northeastern Medina County, Texas, United States.

[1] It is approximately 40 miles (64 km) west of Downtown San Antonio off Farm to Market Road 1283.

The dam created Lake Medina, a reservoir to supply water for irrigation of an estimated 60,000 acres (240 km2).

The company was founded by Dr. Frederick Stark Pearson, an engineer and developer who designed the dam and raised private project funding, chiefly by the sale of subscriptions to British investors.

The outbreak of World War I cut off the flow of capital for sale of farmland dependent on the project.
