The station at White Spring was a flag stop on the railroad’s line, coming into existence during the Philadelphia & Reading Railroad’s ownership of the line. It sat only 0.8 miles away from the Ellendale Station, and consisted of a rail stand, semaphore, and station sign. White Spring was most likely named after a sand spring that was in the area.

Not much is known about the history of this area. We do know that in 1906, Paul L. Lengel was cutting lumber in the area, and wanted his logging road to cross the tracks. As far as we know, Lengel did receive his crossing.

Today the area once known as “White Spring” is believed to be where the paved round-a-bout is on Stony Creek Drive. Although, being so close to Ellendale, the round-a-bout could also be part of the town of Ellendale.
