Humble is a city in Harris County, Texas within the Houston–Sugar Land–Baytown metropolitan area. The proper pronunciation of the city is "umble" (the "H" being silent), as the city's founder pronounced his last name in that manner. As of the 2000 census, the city population was 14,579. Petroleum has been the basis of Humble's economy since its beginning. Loch Energy is headquartered in Humble; the city was the namesake for Humble Oil and Refining Company, which later merged with the Exxon corporation. The city got its name from one of the original founders/settlers, a successful wildcatter originally from England named Pleasant Smith "Plez" Humble, who opened the first post office in his home and later served as justice of the peace. http://www.cityofhumble.net/
