White Settlement, TX

White Settlement is a city in Tarrant County, Texas, United States, and a northwestern suburb of Fort Worth. The population was estimated to be 18,084 in 2021. 

According to the United States Census Bureau, the city has a total area of 5.1 square miles (13.1 km2), all land.      

Even before the beginnings of a nearby military outpost, Fort Worth, settlers took up refuge along a creek, later named Farmers Branch Creek. Before the end of 1841, settlers began arriving from Missouri, Illinois, Indiana, Kentucky, and Tennessee. In 1850 the area's first census showed the population consisted of 599 Anglo-Americans and 65 black slaves. By the mid-1850s, many more settlers arrived bringing with them more slaves. 

The oldest street in White Settlement is White Settlement Road. This original trail led from the fort to the "white settlement" about eight miles west into Native American territory. As the Native Americans were forced from the area and the settlement moved westward, the road followed. This was the only public road in White Settlement's early history.

While early life was not easy for the settlers with frequent clashes with Indigenous populations, White Settlement became a trading outpost. As the migrating settlers carved out homesteads among the various Indigenous tribes, outsiders and American Indians referred to the area as "the white settlement."

In February 1942, Consolidated Aircraft Company began construction on the B-24 Liberator heavy bomber at Air Force Plant #4. Liberator Village, as it became known, consisted of housing units across the city to house aircraft workers.
