Concan Texas

Concan (Con Can) is on the Frio River and Hwy 127 in north central Uvalde County. According to local lore, the town was named after "coon can," a Mexican card game, or possibly Cancun, Mexico.

The population level remained fairly stable from the early 1940s to the early 1970s, when the town included a post office, a church, two stores, and a community center. By that time the town and the surrounding area had become a popular tourist spot. During the fall and winter, hunters, in search of deer, doves, and wild turkeys, stay in Concan; during the spring and summer, visitors come to enjoy the clear waters of the Frio River.

Concan had seventy-one year-round residents in 1990.
