It lies along Farm to Market Road 109 (FM 109) northeast of Industry. A group of German families founded the community sometime around 1852. After the 1930s the population declined but it recovered in the 1960s. HistoryThe land along Pecan Creek was settled by Anglo-Americans as early as the late 1820s. By 1852, German immigrants moved into the area. A leading member of the German community was schoolmaster J. F. Schmidt from Oldenburg, who later formed a singing club. Liking the pleasant countryside and friendly people, Schmidt named the town Welcome. A school was soon built on the west bank of Pecan Creek. In 1871 a post office opened in the settlement. By 1936 there were approximately 200 persons in the community with four commercial establishments. The population dwindled to about 60 souls with two businesses in 1950. The town recovered so that there were 175 inhabitants in 1965. From 1990 to 2000, the population was around 150 persons.[1] GeographyWelcome is situated on FM 109 {{convert|4.2|mi|km|1}} north of Industry and {{convert|0.8|mi|km|1}} south of Farm to Market Road 2502.
