Editing White House, Tennessee (section)

===Naming the town===
In the mid-19th century, the Carter, Thomas, and Hough [[Stagecoach]] Company traveled the L&N Turnpike carrying passengers. A typical stop along the way was a white, two-story house built by Wilks in 1829. The house was a popular stop for lodging, food, and changing out horses. President [[Andrew Jackson]] was even heard to have stayed here during his travels between his home and the White House. During this time, houses were rarely painted white, particularly in this underdeveloped area. The stage coach drivers began to call this stop and the surrounding area White House.<ref>{{cite web|url= http://www.epodunk.com/cgi-bin/genInfo.php?locIndex=12725|title= Profile for White House, Tennessee, TN|publisher= ePodunk |access-date=August 18, 2012}}</ref>
