White Station was located near the former site of White's Station (namesake also of Whitehaven), an historic railway station built in 1842 on the LaGrange and Memphis Railroad (later part of the Memphis and Charleston Railroad), now part of the Norfolk Southern Railway. [citation needed] Until the 1950s White Station was near the eastern boundary of Memphis.[1] Also during the 1950s, White Station was annexed into Memphis and became one of the main neighborhoods of East Memphis.[citation needed]
