Umm, yes. And it has everything to do with the line of demarcation... Where the West begins. The Indians at that time had been pushed west far enough that a settlement was feasible outside the fort. The town was the first settlement in that area outside the Fort... The fort being Fort Worth. The reason it was called *white* was because there were no Indians living there (much less anyone who was black or Mexican/Hispanic). Now, of course, it is mostly people who work at Lockheed-Martin... (and Mexicans).

Makes sense in historical terms.... I guess it is odd we don't have more 'white outpost' type names around here, deep in Indian country. Just surprises me that they haven't changed the name over time.
