Interesting, there’s an article that says:
“Nutpisit Suthamtewakul, owner of Happy Bowl Thai in White Settlement, said Alexis was ‘my best friend.’”
So maybe that is a real name of a city
Very real. In fact there was a lot of pressure for them to change the name. They held a referendum on it a few years ago, and basically the voters told them to "pound sand" and they kept the name.
It is a real city....The old Carswell AFB, now a Joint Reserve Base and a Federal Corrections facility is located there now. General Dynamics is located in White Settlement also.
Several years ago there was an attempt to change the city’s name but was soundly rejected by the voters.
From Wiki:
The name of White Settlement originated as a result of there being two settlements in the area: one occupied predominantly by Native Americans (near where Fort Worth is located today), and the other one being occupied by white settlers. The latter settlement received the name “White Settlement” as a way to distinguish itself from the Native American settlement. The city was incorporated in 1941.[6]
On October 14, 2005, city leaders announced a plan to have local voters decide on a possible name change for the town from White Settlement to West Settlement. In the November 8 election, the name change was overwhelmingly rejected by a vote of 2388 to 219.
Yes, White Settlement is a middle class community. I think maybe the “White” came from the guy’s name who built it. Anyway, the White isn’t connected to white skin.
White Settlement is a small community within Fort Worth. You would not notice when you left Fort Worth to White Settlement. This is also where the old Carswell AFB used to be... currently being used by Lockheed and the Naval Air Reserve.
btw... there were some dummies years ago that tried to request the city council change the name of White Settlement, claiming it could be offensive. The truth is the name represents Reverend White and his family, historic founders to the great state of Texas.
