White Oaks grew rapidly after the discovery of gold in 1869.  From tent city to bustling mining town, it was the largest town in Lincoln County with cultural events and an occasional bandit.  Gold depletion and failure to grant railroad right-of-way caused its demise.  Cedarvale is the cemetery resting place of many White Oaks citizens.
