Have you ever wondered about the name of this town? The story begins with a conductor on the Houston and Texas Central Railroad. A. J. Wilmer, a man known for his friendly nature and frequent trips through this very place. In 1884, the post office, initially named Prairie Valley, was renamed after him. Wilmer, a small town that grew from a humble railway stop. Today, the town of Wilmer remains a vibrant community, a testament to its rich history and the spirit of the man it was named after. A spirit that continues to thrive in the hearts of its residents.
