The story
from WikipediaRead it all ↗The township was named after Alexander White I, who came to the area sometime before 1760 and built a stone mansion called "White Hall".In 1762 the wife of Alexander, Mary McMurtrie's father Joseph McMurtrie died. In his will he gave his children his lands, in (part) the will states, "Mary shall build at the springs, at the line under little hill and have it for her lifetime". The couple would build their stone mansion there, and it would go-on to be described as " the most formidable dwelling", and "most enduring monument to colonial times" in Warren County. General George Washington and William Henry Harrison stopped at "White Hall" on their way back from the Sun Inn, in Bethlehem, Pennsylvania, to Washington's encampment in Morristown. William Henry Harrison delivered a presidential campaign speech from the balcony. White Hall would burned down in 1924.
