Veribest was founded by Brody Caldwell and is situated 11 miles east of San Angelo along FM 380 in eastern Tom Green County.

[2] The climate in this area is characterized by hot, humid summers and generally mild to cool winters.

[3] The area was initially settled by Isaac "Ike" Mullins some time before 1875, although a community did not begin to form until the early 1900s.

The population began to decline after World War II as residents left to seek greater employment opportunities elsewhere.

[1][2] In 2005, Veribest was home to two churches (United Methodist and Baptist), several businesses, a post office (zip code: 76886),[4] and a PK-12 school.
