Tomball’s rich history reflects the state of Texas in more ways than one. It was originally settled by German pioneers, who created ranches and farms within the dense pine forests. In the early 1900s, a major railroad depot was established, which was such a significant development that residents renamed the community “Tomball” for former congressman Thomas Henry Ball, who played a key role in routing railroad operations through the town. In 1933, the discovery of oil southwest of Tomball resulted in a major economic boom for the town, which continues to resonate to this day.
