Where is White City, Florida?
White City is a small community in St. Lucie County, tucked between Fort Pierce and Port St. Lucie along Midway Road. It has a Fort Pierce mailing address, but it has its own name, its own history, and its own feel.
Think big oak trees, larger lots, and river access, without being far from shopping, I-95, or the beaches.
Just south of White City, Lowry's Santa's Christmas Tree Village is where we get our Christmas tree every year.
Note: There is another White City in Florida's panhandle (Gulf County). This page is about White City in St. Lucie County.
The History of White City, Florida
White City was founded in 1893 by Danish settlers who came down from the Midwest. They named it after the "Great White City" at the 1893 Chicago World's Fair, which many of them had seen in person.
The early years were not easy. According to local histories, a land promoter left town with the settlers' money soon after they arrived. The families who stayed built a farming community that is still here more than 130 years later.
