White Rock, Michigan

White Rock is an unincorporated community in Huron County in the U.S. state of Michigan.

As an unincorporated community, White Rock has no legal autonomy, defined boundaries, or population statistics of its own.

The community is named for a large white boulder offshore in Lake Huron at 43°43′09″N 82°36′16″W / 43.71917°N 82.60444°W / 43.71917; -82.60444[3] that was used as a boundary marker to define the territory ceded by Ottawa, Chippewa, Wyandot, and Potawatomi with the Treaty of Detroit in 1807.

From this point the treaty boundary ran northeast to White Rock in Lake Huron, then due east to the international boundary with what was then Upper Canada, and then along the international boundary through the St. Clair River, Lake St. Clair, the Detroit River and then into Lake Erie to a point due east of the mouth of the Maumee River, and finally west back to the point of beginning.

The Michigan Department of Transportation began construction of White Rock Roadside Park along M-25 in 2000.
