According to the Handbook of Texas, the community was probably named after Jim Hogg County's first sheriff, Oscar Thompson.[4]
Thompsonville's history dates back to the 1910s. The first commercial oil well in the county began producing oil on April 17, 1921. The well was located in the Mirando Valley field near Thompsonville and brought new residents to the area.[5] A post office in 1925, but was discontinued around 1936. A school and several businesses were located at the site in the late 1940s. Today, Thompsonville is a small, dispersed community with a population less than 50.[3]
Thompsonville was first listed as a census designated place in the 2010 U.S. Census.[18]
