Named for its founder, Pleasant S. Humble, who later served as Justice of the Peace, the city of Humble began as a crossroads community for settlers during the late 1800s. Humble became a boomtown with the discovery of oil, and was the largest producing field in Texas by 1905, giving rise to the Humble Oil & Refining Company, which later became known as Exxon Corporation. In later years, oil production declined and many residents returned to their agricultural roots, but Humble has continued to grow and evolve, and is now considered as the commercial, economic, and social hub of northeast Harris County.
