Helmic was established as a stop on the Groveton, Lufkin and Northern Railway circa 1908. It was originally called Alabama Station, but the name was changed to Helmic in 1910 when the post office was established. It was given the name Helmic for a surveyor/engineer who was in charge of the construction of the track. A camp was established by the Trinity County Lumber Company in 1914 and was officially settled. It then had 50 residents, two grocers, and three general stores that year. A small boom occurred during the 1910s and 1920s and the population jumped to 300. When the lumber company moved its operations to Colmesneil, Helmic started its decline. The lumber camp ended and the railroad tracks were removed. The post office closed in 1933. In the early 1940s, the settlement had a store and 50 residents. In 2000, the population was 86. [2]
