Before European settlement, White Lake was known as Wa-ba-lac. The region later became an important part of the Ottawa Valley's logging industry, with waterways serving as transportation routes for timber operations throughout the 1800s and early 1900s. Today, visitors can explore local heritage through community landmarks and attractions such as the Waba Cottage Museum and Gardens, which preserves the stories and history of the area.
