White Center Summary
History
White Center is a neighborhood located in the south of Seattle, Washington. It is bordered by West Seattle to the south, Burien to the north, and the Duwamish River to the east. The area was originally inhabited by the Duwamish people, who were the first to settle in the area. The first non-native settlers arrived in the late 1800s, and the area was officially incorporated as White Center in 1910.
The area was originally known as "White Center" due to the white sand that was found in the area. The sand was used to make bricks, which were used to build many of the homes in the area. The area was also known for its dairy farms, which provided milk and other dairy products to the Seattle area.
In the early 1900s, the area began to experience rapid growth due to the influx of immigrants from Europe and Asia. This growth was further fueled by the construction of the Seattle-Tacoma Interurban Railway in 1910, which connected White Center to Seattle and Tacoma.
The area experienced a period of decline in the mid-1900s, as many of the dairy farms closed and the population began to decline. However, the area has seen a resurgence in recent years, as new businesses and housing developments have been built in the area.
