White Settlement

White Settlement covers 13 square kilometers (5 square miles) as a northwestern suburb of Fort Worth with access to major roadways. This residential area includes municipal buildings, schools, and commercial zones along its main streets.

Pioneers from Tennessee and Kentucky founded this place in the 1840s in a region previously inhabited by seven indigenous villages. The original settlement grew into a self-governing community within the Fort Worth metropolitan area during the 20th century.

Named for its early settlers, this community shows its identity through events like Christmas parades and outdoor film nights. The municipal water park serves as a gathering spot for families during summer months.

Online portals enable access to municipal services including water bill payment and waste collection scheduling. Residents can report local issues directly through digital platforms.

A 2005 vote rejected a proposal to rename the town from its historical designation to West Settlement. Residents chose to keep the 19th-century name despite business considerations.
