European settlers began arriving in the Tomball area in the mid-1800s, drawn by the thick, wooded forests along Spring Creek that reminded many of Germany’s Black Forest. These forests supported a growing lumber industry, while the area’s rich soil proved ideal for farming and raising livestock. In the early 1900s, Thomas Ball, Tomball’s namesake, helped transform the quiet town into a thriving railroad center. The discovery of oil by the Humble Oil Company in the 1930s, now known as Exxon, further shaped the community’s future and earned Tomball its nickname, “Oiltown USA.”

Today, Tomball remains a vibrant, popular destination. Regardless of the season, you will find a long and interesting list of attractions, events and activities to suit nearly every age and interest. Step back in time at the Tomball Museum Center featuring a collection of historic buildings that offer a glimpse into the daily lives of Tomball’s early settlers in the mid-1800s. Visitors can explore antiques in the 1860 Griffin Memorial House and view authentic 19th-century farm equipment at the Farm Museum. The living history museum also includes a restored Lutheran church, schoolhouse, fellowship hall and doctor’s office. At Tomball’s historic railroad depot, guests can enjoy train memorabilia, artwork, antiques and a detailed model railroad. The depot has a gazebo that is perfect for picnics and it hosts some of Tomball’s major annual events, such as the Tomball German Heritage Festival and the Honky Tonk Festival. Savor a taste of Tomball at the weekly farmer’s market. Browse the stands for locally grown fruits and vegetables, homemade pastas and sauces, whole bean coffees, cold brew and fresh meats.
