The first settlers began moving into the Humble area in the early 1800s. Joseph Dunman was thought to be the first person to settle here and was believed to have arrived in 1828.

As mentioned above, the city got its name from one of the original founders/settlers, Pleasant Smith "Plez" Humble, who opened the first post office in his home and later served as justice of the peace. The reference which can't be edited indicates that he was a wildcatter, but he was probably more of a fisherman and later a grocer and storekeeper and perhaps even an attorney. In addition, he reportedly worked with timber to make railroad ties and mined gravel. In 1883 a city directory reported that he operated a fruit stand. In 1885, he was a wood dealer, and in 1900, the the District 99, Justice Pct. 4, Harris Co., Texas Census reports his occupation as attory at law.

The reference also indicates that Plez Humble was a native of England, but census records consistently show that he was a native of Louisiana, and in 1900 was reported to have been born in Dec. 1834 in Louisiana.

Research indicates that he was most likely the son of Jacob C. and Francis (Knighton) Humble who married on July 24, 1827 in Amite, Mississippi and moved to Louisiana. Around 1860, Pleasant Smith Humble married Jane Elizabeth Markham. They had one son, William S. Humble, born in 1861. Jane Elizabeth died before 1910, and was reportedly buried at Humble Cemetery (see findagrave.com). Pleasant Smith Humble relocated to the Silsbee, Hardin Co., Texas area where his sister lived, and died there around 1912.

The Humble oil fields are still active and have produced over 138,835,590 barrels of oil. When the oil boom receded, many land owners returned to truck farming, dairy farming and the timber industry.
