White Creek is an unincorporated community located in the town of Easton, Adams County, Wisconsin, United States. White Creek is located on County Highway H and White Creek, 9.5 miles (15.3 km) south-southwest of Adams.[2]
Seth Thompson founded the community, which he originally named Cascade, in 1853. He changed the name to White Creek when he opened its post office in August 1855; the new name came from the white foam on the local creek's surface.[3]
