==History==
White Swan is an unincorporated community located on the Yakama Indian Reservation, presumably named after Chief White Swan of the Yakamas around the start of the 20th century. The town was on the Mt Adams Highway (an overland road between Yakima and The Dalles beginning in the 1850s) between Union Gap and Fort Simcoe. In September 1921, the Christian Church (Disciples of Christ) (DOC) opened the American Tepee Christian Mission. The DOC establish a Christian home for children who would attend the public school in White Swan and be educated in Christianity and farming at the Mission. In 1967, the former child-care facilities of the Mission were leased to the Sundown M Corporation. Using the registered cattle brand of the Mission (from the years it owned cattle), the Sundown M Ranch began serving recovering alcoholics in 1968.〔Keith Watkins, ''A Visible Sign of God's Presences: A History of the Yakama Christian Mission'' (Nashville, Polar Star Press, 2009)〕 Pacific Power & Light Company first brought electricity to the community in 1928. The White Swan Library (a branch of the Yakima Valley Regional library) was established in 1947. It was moved to a donated facility in 1969 where it stands today. White Swan is part of the Mt Adams School District #209, and home of White Swan High School. The town has never been formally incorporated.〔http://www.u-s-history.com/wa/w/whiteswa.htm〕〔http://www.yvrl.org/reference/referencelinks〕〔http://www.yakimamemory.org/cdm4/item_viewer.php〕
