History

German settlers arrived and established the location around 1853. The Upper and Lower motts, two sizable motts near San Antonio Bay, were home to the earliest settlements. Since the Upper Mott was the more extensive of the two, it was given the name Long Mott when a post office was opened for the hamlet in 1887. The first postmaster was Frederick W. Roemer. Anna Mary (Braentegam) Roemer and Dr. John were two more early settlers of Long Mott. One of the first Black residents was Guy Mission. In 1914, Long Mott listed 200 residents, a telephone connection, a lumber company, two general stores, and the St. Louis, Brownsville and Mexico Railway as its means of transportation. Long Mott had 75 residents in the early 1930s. In the 1930s and 1940s, the community's population was recorded at 75; in 1952, that number increased to 100. 1968 saw the population peak at 125, and from 1970 to 2000, 76 were recorded as living there.
