Boling, TX

Boling-Iago is a census-designated place in Wharton County, Texas, United States. The 2000 census counted 1,271 residents. Boling-Iago is located along Farm to Market Road 1301 about 10 miles southeast of Wharton, the county seat. The first settlement in the area was known as Floyd's Lane which was on a trail that ran from a Colorado River crossing on the west to a San Bernard River crossing on the east. Its three schools are each located in a separate community. That mix gives Boling a clear local shape within Texas, with older layers still visible in current places. The local scoop is a place whose streets, landmarks, and institutions keep its earlier story close to the present. A trail that ran beside Caney Creek connected the area to Wharton. Caney Creek meanders from northwest to southeast through the area. To the northwest of Iago, the stream can be found on the south side of Farm to Market Road 1301.
