Introduction to White Settlement, Texas
White Settlement, Texas, in Tarrant county, is 8 miles W of Fort Worth, Texas. The city has a population of 14,831.
White Settlement History
This region was originally occupied by tribes of Native Americans. White pioneers arrived in the 18th century, however, even though they established a few settlements, most of the surrounding parts remained under the possession of the natives. To protect the pioneers, the War Department built a fort near the Trinity River in 1849, and named it "Fort Worth". It eventually led to the development of two separate settlements - one which was comprised of seven villages of Native Americans, and another which had white settlers. As a result, the community came to be known as "White Settlement". It was officially incorporated in 1941.
