History
A post office called White Rock was established in 1885, and remained in operation until 1965. White Rock took its name from a white granite boulder near the original town site. The namesake boulder was destroyed and a grain elevator was built at the spot. A historical marker stands at the corner of Haggert Ave. (the main east/west road along the north side of town) and 2nd St. (one of the two main north /south streets).
