• The discovery of oil in 1904 transformed Humble. By 1905, the Humble oilfield became the largest producing oilfield in Texas. The Humble Oil and Refining Company, a predecessor of Exxon, was established here.

• Humble transitioned from a rural community to an oil boomtown, experiencing significant growth and development.
