发帖数: 2555 | 1 The name of White Settlement originated as a result of there being two
settlements in the area: one occupied predominantly by Native Americans (
near where Fort Worth is located today), and the other one being occupied by
white settlers. The latter settlement received the name "White Settlement"
as a way to distinguish itself from the Native American settlement. The city
was incorporated in 1941.
On October 14, 2005, city leaders announced a plan to have local voters
decide on a possible name change for the town from White Settlement to West
Settlement. In the November 8 election, the name change was overwhelmingly
rejected by a vote of 2,388 to 219. | C*********X
