“Cleveland is on U.S.
Highway 59 forty miles northeast of Houston in northwestern
Liberty County |

he area began in 1836, when the General Land Office offered land
in the
|
| |
county in exchange for
military service. In 1854 Father Peter La Cour, who was
evidently the first |
| |
priest resident in the
county, built a church and convent near the present town site.” |

Humble Texas |
| |
Located in the
northeast quadrant of the Houston metropolitan area, just 21
miles from downtown |

greater Humble area includes Atascocita, the City of
Humble,
Kingwood, and |
| |
Spring, all of
which are currently experiencing robust population and economic
growth. |
| |
“Its name came not from
Humble Oil Company, as newcomers to the area often believe, but
from a |
|
vagabond fisherman by the name of P.S. ‘Pleasant’ Humble who
wandered into the area in the late |
| |
1890s and settled along
the banks of the San Jacinto River with his wife and family just
before the |
| |
Civil War. Humble Oil
Company got its name from the town near its most famous
discovery, not the |
| |
other way around.” |

Magnolia, Texas |
| |
With a modest beginning
in the timber industry, Magnolia has grown from its settler and
sawmill |
| |
beginnings to a sprawling
center of commerce. The community was first settled in the late
1840s |
| |
and named Mink’s Prairie
for one of its early settlers, Joseph Mink. On September 3,
1885, a post office |
| |
was established at Mink.
It was renamed Magnolia for the magnolia trees in the bottoms of
adjacent |
| |
Mill Creek and granted a
post office in 1903. |
| |
|
| |
“Magnolia became an
independent school district in 1950 and has grown to include
five elementary |
| |
schools, two junior high
schools, one high school and an alternative campus. Two new
campuses opened |
| |
in August of 2002. The
latest enrollment figure on August 16, 2001 was 7,375 students.”
