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.
