== Fun facts ==
* In 2009, Hamilton was invaded by the West Texas Rattlesnake.
* In 1903, Kentucky-based evangelist Mordecai Ham held the first of his 75 Texas revival meetings in Hico. There were 150 professions of faith in Jesus Christ.
* Hico has a small diner with a regional reputation: the Koffee Kup Family Restaurant, located at the main town intersection of Highway 281 (north-south) and Texas State Highway 6 (east-west). From the outside the restaurant appears small, but it can seat 116 and is open for all three meals. Owned by Lynn E. Allen (born 1947), a former Hico School Board member, the Koffee Kup is known throughout the region, having been featured on Bob Phillips's Texas Country Reporter syndicated television series. The restaurant is particularly known for its chicken-fried steak, strawberry pie, and other custard pies. Adjacent to the Koffee Kup is the historical home of photographer Frank Rufus Wiseman (built 1903), which houses antiques and a chocolate company.
* Hico hosts the Annual Texas Steak Cookoff in May. It boasts thousands of guests every year.
* Ranch life, including horseback riding, hayrides, and camping, can be experienced at Timber Creek Ranch some 10 miles (16 km) southeast of Hico on Texas Highway 6.
