The community was originally homesteaded in 1886 by the Smith family who sold the property by dividing up lots. The White Rock area was destined to be a popular report area in British Columbia. In the 1960s and 1970s White Rock was a more affordable place to live for people who couldn’t afford real estate closer to Vancouver. During that time, White Rock became known as a retirement centre. By the 1990s, White Rock was booming and was developing more upscale real estate. Today White Rock is developing more big-box retail outlets to accommodate the growing population.
