White River City is an Unincorporated community along the White River and Piceance Creek in Rio Blanco County, Colorado, United States.[1]
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.[2] [3] There was a schoolhouse in 1902.[4]
