The city was established in 1848 and started as a little trading post with no name close to Cypress Creek. The town derives its name from Pleasant Wimberley who bought the mill on the site in 1874, and eventually expanded it to a largish processing unit for flour, molasses, lumber, shingles, and cotton. Although the mill itself actually shut down in 1925, the community built around it continued to grow, and became the resort town of today.
