Welcome to The City of White Oak

Nestled in the rolling hills and piney woods of North East Texas, White Oak is located in on US Highway 80 in Gregg County about 125 east of Dallas. White Oak welcomes you home to safe neighborhoods, superior schools, family oriented living, and genuine community spirit. From little league baseball games to the White Oak Roughneck Day Festival, White Oak offers all residents a higher quality of life.

Once simply a bedroom community to Longview, White Oak has matured into a city that offers modern services and conveniences, while maintaining the friendliness and tranquility for which it has always been known. White Oak remains a small town, with a population of 5,624, but its advantageous location just west of Longview, White Oak residents are able to enjoy small town living and still conveniently take advantage of cultural and shopping opportunities in a large, metropolitan area.

White Oak is a growing city that welcomes development in all sectors of the community, including residential, industrial, retail and services. For evidence of the community's growth, look no farther than the residential and retail markets. Since 1996, White Oak has witnessed the development of several residential subdivisions including Woodbine Place, a three phase development in north White Oak, and numberous retail establishments, including a Brookshire's Grocery Store, McDonald's Family Restaurant, Subway Sandwich Shop, Wendy's, Golden Fried Chicken and a Taco Bell/KFC store.
Throughout this growth process, the White Oak Chamber of Commerce and the White Oak Economic Development Corporation (WOEDCO) have served many organizations, companies and individuals in their efforts to grow and prosper. Working in partnership with the City of White Oak municipal services and both school and municipal taxing entities, city leaders have streamlined the development process and established added incentives for quality developers.
