The name “White Settlement” was originally bestowed upon the community by several Indian tribes in the area. During the 1800s, a time when much of the territory was unsettled, the local Native Americans became aware of new people moving into the area. As these families established homesteads, the Native Americans began to call the area “White Settlement.” Later, many of the roaming Indians settled down in the area and the name continued as the two cultures lived peacefully along the Farmer’s Branch Creek.

The City of White Settlement is served by the White Settlement Independent School District [WSISD]. In 2009, the school district was rated “academically acceptable” by the Texas Education Agency.
