The story
from WikipediaRead it all ↗A post office called White has been in operation since 1890. James Alexander White, the first postmaster, gave the city its name.
The Georgia General Assembly incorporated White as a town in 1919.
In March 2016, the city's police chief, as well as its only full-time officer, were arrested on false imprisonment charges. The arrests left the city with no police department.
The city has a new mayor as of June 6, 2022, Perry Bell, who later died on September 25, 2022.

That’s true of most small towns. It doesn’t mean White has no history, only that no one has written up a nomination. The closest listed place is Pine Log Methodist Church, Campground, and Cemetery in White, 4.8 miles away.
