White City began on 80 acres (32 ha) owned by Pilot Butte resident Johnston Lipsett.[5] The community organized as a hamlet on April 26, 1959.[1] It incorporated as a village on March 1, 1967 and then as a town on November 1, 2000.[1] The community was named after White City, London, England when John Kadannek, a local store owner, persuaded Lipsett to name it for the home of his favourite aunt.[6]
