White River City, Colorado

White River City is an Unincorporated community along the White River and Piceance Creek in Rio Blanco County, Colorado, United States.

History


The settlement was formerly incorporated in 1888 by brothers Reuben and Ambrose Oldman, in hope that a railroad would come through the area along White River. Ambrose was involved in oil speculation in the area and ran a store on Piceance Creek until 1895, when he moved to Meeker. There was a schoolhouse in 1902.
