Pleasant S. Humble, a ferry operator for the San Jacinto River, established Humble, Texas in 1970. By 1890, Humble had a local school with 50 student, two general stores, two hotels, a church and a post office. Thanks to an oil boom in the early 1900s, the town saw an increase in growth. However, it also saw a steady decline until WWI and WWII with army training camps located at Moonshine Hill. During this time, many residents fell back on dairy and truck farming to support themselves and their families.
In 1970, the local government decided to invest in redeveloping the downtown area. Construction of a library, community hall, park, historical museum and library were all completed during this time. Today, the city remains as vibrant as ever, a tight knit community with access to work in larger nearby cities.
Humble is located within Harris County, right on the Texas and New Orleans Railroad and United States Highway 59.
