About Humble
Humble began as a crossroads community around 1870 and became an oil boomtown in 1904.
- The community began around 1870 and was named for Pleasant S. Humble, who operated a ferry on the San Jacinto River.
- A post office was open by 1886, and the Charles Bender sawmill (1889 to 1927) kept the early town going.
- Oil discovered in 1904 turned Humble into a boomtown; by 1905 the Humble field was the largest producing oilfield in Texas, though the boom faded quickly and by 1906 the community had lost its original town government.
- Humble incorporated under a new city charter obtained on August 28, 1933, after voters defeated a proposal to incorporate in 1929. It became a home-rule city in 1970.
- The city says Humble stayed small until Houston Intercontinental Airport opened in 1969; nearby communities such as Kingwood and Atascocita then grew outside its city limits.
