White City is a ghost town in Gaines County, Texas, United States.[1]

History

White City is situated near Cedar Lake. It was settled in 1939, after voters passed the sale of alcohol. A post office operated from 1940 or 1941, to the 1950s. Oilfields supported the town during the 1930s. From the 1940s, the town declined, being abandoned by the 1950s.[2][3]
