Tampico is an unincorporated community in Grassy Fork Township, Jackson County, Indiana.
Tampico first grew around a blacksmith shop established in about 1840.[2] The community was likely named after Tampico, in Mexico.[3] A post office was established at Tampico in 1852, and remained in operation until it was discontinued in 1909.[4]
