(This White City Improvement Club site replaces the
original by Stan Hill. It is dedicated to his memory.)
The White City Improvement Club is a non-profit civic organization whose heritage can be traced back to a time before the turn of the 20th century. It was chartered in 1904 and has served the White City Community and its neighbors faithfully for nearly 100 years. he word improvement represented just what was needed for our community a hundred years ago, but on the way to the present, a funny thing happened: Modern concepts bypassed us! Most of us living here enjoy the flavor of old Florida without the highrises, shopping malls, and sprawl. There are still citrus groves, livestock, colorful roosters,and neighbors helping one another. There are still many homes from the early 1900s. So the word preservation might suit our name better now than improvement, but we preserve our original name.
Many of the White City pioneers had previously attended the Chicago World's Fair in 1893. They were so impressed with Daniel Burnham's Great White City that they named their little colony "White City." They also named the road that ran through the center of town "Midway" after the fair's main entertainment attraction, Midway Plaisance. Read the rest of our history HERE.
