    History

    White Oak was originally part of Versailles Township (one of the original townships of Allegheny County). It wasn't until March 21, 1948 that a petition requesting the formation of White Oak Borough was submitted to the County Court. On June 24, 1948, Judge Russell H. Adams signed the decree of incorporation of the new borough. The first borough building was located at 860 Maple Street inside the old Bowery School.

Two volunteer fire departments serve different parts of the borough: White Oak No.1 VFC and Rainbow VFC.
