Rumors abound, incorrectly, that this little town called White Castle acquired its name from the residents opinion of Nottaway Plantation.  Even some web sites incorrectly assign White Castle's name as a result of Nottoway. 

The 1883 Dickinson survey map clearly shows that Nottaway and White Castle existed separately. The George Wailes plantation called White Castle is the location of the present town.

White Castle is a town of just under 2000 people.
