White Settlement is a municipality located in Tarrant County, Texas, within close proximity to Fort Worth in the northwest.

Despite the challenges faced by the early settlers due to ongoing conflicts with Indigenous communities, White Settlement eventually evolved into a bustling trading post. As the settlers established their homes alongside different Indigenous groups, the region came to be known as “the white settlement” by outsiders and Native Americans alike.

The name of the city originated from its early days as a solitary outpost of white settlers surrounded by numerous Native American communities in the Fort Worth region of the Texas Republic in the 1840s.

The city’s entire area covers 5.1 square miles (13.1 km2), as reported by the United States Census Bureau, and it consists entirely of land.

According to the 2020 census, the city had a total of 6,290 households and 4,010 families calling it home.

The Texas Civil War Museum can be found in the city of White Settlement.

The mayor and city council of White Settlement oversee the city’s management, while Fort Worth’s suburb benefits from a full-time police and fire department dedicated to ensuring public safety.

White Settlement Independent School District serves the City of White Settlement. The Texas Education Agency rated the school district as “academically acceptable” in 2009.

The Municipal Complex houses the White Settlement Public Library.

Only around 16% of people living in the area have earned a bachelor’s degree or higher, in contrast to 34% of all residents in Texas.
