About this city
Also known as: Home of Old Car City USA
Located in northern Bartow County just north of the Atlanta metropolitan periphery, White is a historic rural city tightly tied to early Appalachian transport and unexpected industrial art preservation. Incorporated in 1919 and named after early Postmaster James White, the community originally thrived as a farming center and a vital coaling terminal along the Louisville and Nashville Railroad network. In the late 20th century, White achieved international pop-culture notoriety as the home of 'Old Car City USA,' the world's largest known old car junkyard, which contains over 4,000 classic American vehicles dating from the 1930s to the 1970s dissolving into a beautiful pine forest canopy. The contemporary town blends its quiet country lifestyle with a booming sector for photographic and automotive art tourism.
