A post office was established in Mumford in 1878, and the community continued to expand through the rest of the nineteenth century. Its fortunes declined after a devastating flood in 1899, which destroyed most of the community; Mumford never attained its pre-flood prosperity. Some businesses remain in the community,〔(MUMFORD, TEXAS ), ''Handbook of Texas Online'', 2008-01-18.
