Lumberton, Texas began as a major lumber shipping point, a settlement called Chance-Loeb. The first railroad that came through dubbed it Lumberton and a fitting name it is for this quiet community. Located within the boundary of the Big Thicket National Preserve, Lumberton thrives amid the tall piney woods of Southeast Texas. Lumberton’s determination to provide quality education to its younger citizens has earned its school system an outstanding reputation. It is no surprise to learn that Lumberton, with its collective spirit and energy, is one of the fastest growing cities in Southeast Texas.

The business growth in the area is expanding at an all-time high rate, mostly service industry retailers are coming to the area to service the large increase in the population. We have rapid growth in restaurant chains that are trying to keep up with the new citizens and the tourist development in the area. Health services are not far behind with a local hospital constructing a new day surgery clinic, adding to our already established family clinic and birthing facility. The Village Creek State Park is attracting 60,000 people a year with camping, hiking, RV parking, bird watching, with canoeing rentals and boat tours provided by Timber Ridge Tours.
