As of [[2000]], the population is 16,252. Its [[county seat]] is [[Pearsall, Texas\|Pearsall]][[Geographic references\|<sup>6</sup>]]. Frio County is named for the [[Frio River]]. This is a Swedish variety of the [[dolma]], common in Eastern Mediterranean countries. After loosing the [[Battle of Poltava]] in 1709 [[Charles XII of Sweden]] fled to the city of [[Bender]], then controlled by the [[Ottoman Empire]]. There he spent two years in exile, trying to convince the Ottoman Empire to help him defeat the Russians. Charles returned to Sweden and he was followed by some of his Ottoman creditors whom he had borrowed money from to finance his wars. The Ottoman creditors lived in [[Stockholm]] between 1716 and 1732, and during this time it is most likely that the dolma was introduced in Sweden. It is first mentioned in a famous Swedish cookbook written by Casja Warg, in 1755. At that time it was still made from grape leaves but they were later replaced by cabbage leaves, being more readily available in Sweden. ==Geography== ~~Wretman, Tore: ''Svensk husmanskost'' (Forum 1967) ISBN 91-37-08274-4~~ According to the [[United States Census Bureau\|U.S. Census Bureau]], the county has a total area of 2,938 [[km²]] (1,134 [[square mile\|mi²]]). 2,935 km² (1,133 mi²) of it is land and 3 km² (1 mi²) of it (0.11%) is water. ===Major Highways=== [[Image:I-35.svg\|20px]] [[Interstate 35]] [[Image:US 57.svg\|20px]] [[U.S. Highway 57]] [[Image:Texas 85.svg\|20px]] [[State Highway 85 (Texas)]] [[State Highway 173 (Texas)]] ===Adjacent counties=== [[Medina County, Texas\|Medina County]] (north) [[Atascosa County, Texas\|Atascosa County]] (east) [[La Salle County, Texas\|La Salle County]] (south) [[Dimmit County, Texas\|Dimmit County]] (southwest) [[Zavala County, Texas\|Zavala County]] (west) ==Demographics== As of the [[census]][[Geographic references#2\|<sup>2</sup>]] of 2000, there were 16,252 people, 4,743 households, and 3,642 families residing in the county.
