Nestled in 5 square miles bounded by IH30, Loop 820 West, and the Joint Naval Air Station (formerly Carswell Air Force Base), the City of White Settlement offers the quality of life associated with small town living.  The City, incorporated in 1941, is home to 15,400 residents, many of whom are second or third generation residents.  White Settlement has a rich history dating back to the 1840’s when the area was home to seven Indian villages and one non-Indian settlement.  This settlement became a trading post that was patronized by both the Indians and the settlers. This sense of community remains.

Exemplary City services further enhance this sense of community. The Police Department moved into a 15,400 square foot facility in 1998. TheThe Senior Services Center has an award-winning program. The 13,500 square foot automated Library houses over 72,000 items and a computer center for patrons. The City’s 147-acre park system includes a 1.9 million dollar park featuring a baseball complex, small lake with fishing pier, hiking and biking trails, and a playground. Additional facilities include a Recreation Center and Historical Museum. The City’s children attend schools recognized for academic excellence for 8 consecutive years.

There has been a recent resurgence of interest in home building in the City. The Sunview Addition continues to open new phases. Sunview has homes with potential for additional homes. In addition to this residential growth, White Settlement still has prime land located along IH30 and Loop 820 West (Jim Wright Freeway) available for commercial development. The Skyline Industrial Park on the east side of the City has existing buildings as well as vacant land that offers a premier location for appropriate businesses.

White Settlement boasts an ideal location within view of Fort Worth, bounded by major thoroughfares for easy access and providing a vigorous business corridor, while maintaining its small town ambiance.
