Humble History

Humble was named after pioneer fisherman “Pleasant Smith Humble ²Humble wasn’t English. His parents were married in Mississippi in 1827 and made their home in Louisiana. Humble and Markham’s daughter, Jane Elizabeth, were quickly drawn to each other. The day before her boat was sailing, she and Humble had made a break. They eloped and got married in Caldwell County, Louisiana, in 1860.” (1835 -1912). In 1904, C.E. Barrett drilled for oil in this field, ensuring limited output on the Moonshine Hill. From a village of 700, Modest grew to a town of 20,000 at once. The name of the Humble Oil Company /³Humble Oil’s origins come from the 1901 Spindletop gusher that set off the Texas oil rush. It became the largest domestic oil producer by the 1940s, a position retained through the 1960s. The Humble reputation wasn’t extinguished until Exxon’s launch in 1972. was changed to Exxon two decades earlier. Humble still produces, and the town for which he was named continues to prosper. The opening of Houston Intercontinental Airport was a significant catalyst for local development in the late 1960s. The one-million-square-foot Deerbrook Mall opened in the mid-1980s in Humble. It is one of the largest malls in the state, which opened in the U.S. in the 1980s. It is located just five miles from Houston’s main airport, George Bush International Airport, which opened in 1989.
