The WSPD patch was designed in June 1991 to reflect the historical significance of White Settlement. The Broken Wagon Wheel represents where the first settlers stopped to make homesteads. The Indian Headdress signifies the Seven Indian tribes in the area. 1838 indicates the time period where the early settlers took up roots in the area.
The City of White Settlement is rich in history and tradition. The history of the town dates back to the 1800s, even before the U.S. Army established a military outpost, Fort Worth, to protect the early settlers and pioneers in the area. With seven Indian villages in the general vicinity and only one non-Indian settlement, the early villagers settled in the area known as the white settlement. The town became a trading outpost where peaceful Indians came to rely upon the honesty of the non-Indian settlers and the goods they dealt in. The migrating pioneers from the east found a rich country, carved out homesteads among the Indians, and others called their area, "the white settlement."
