Rodney White (died August 27, 1913) was a Black pioneer in Washington who settled in Tahuya.

[1] After being freed, White made his way to Roslyn, Washington before being hired for a mine construction job in Mason County.

[2] He filed a claim under one of the Homestead Acts for land and crossed the Puget Sound, from Seattle to Tahuya, on September 2, 1890.

[3][4] He quickly built a reputation for being a hard worker with "a heart of gold" and worked on his homestead until his death from pneumonia on August 27, 1913.

[6][7] The move followed a campaign by local activists with the Living Arts Cultural Heritage Project.
