History

According to the Handbook of Texas, “The name of the town came from rancher C. C. Slaughter’s Whiteface Camp and Whiteface Pasture, which were named in turn for the cattle on his ranch.” By 1924, Slaughter’s son-in-law, Ira P. DeLoache, turned the ranch into the new community of Whiteface.

The community was moved several miles the next year to be at the railroad. Oil was discovered near the town in 1937. It was incorporated in 1945.
