Whitehouse is an unincorporated community in Johnson County, Kentucky, United States.

In 1887, the Ohio and Big Sandy Railroad, bought by Chesapeake and Ohio Railway[1] in 1892, reached the community and named the station "Whitehouse" after a large white house that served as a landmark for riverboats.

On April 23, 1887, the community named its post office Myrtle, but in 1901, both the post office and community were renamed Whitehouse, after the railroad station.

[2] Before being renamed to Myrtle, the community was named Mt.
