  “Humility, that low, sweet root,From which all heavenly virtues shoot.”Thomas More

  HUMBLE, TEXAS, WAS NAMED FOR ONE OF ITS FOUNDERS, Pleasant Smith Humble (pronounced “umble”), who settled in the area with his family sometime before 1889. Pleasant was a prosperous wildcatter as well as a storekeeper and fisherman. He also became justice of the peace and started the first post office out of his own home. In the early 1900s Humble became an oil boomtown, and even though the yield has decreased since then, its oil fields are still producing. Today Humble has more than 14,000 residents and is a vibrant and growing city with friendly people, great restaurants, quaint antique stores, a downtown historic district, and the beautiful Mercer Arboretum and Botanic Gardens. Humble, Texas, reflects the qualities of its namesake, being not only a pleasant place to visit, but also a great place to call home.
