However, in 2005 the community recommended a change in the name of this city to attract more business. The community plans to change the name to "West Settlement". But, this decision was rejected by the vast majority of the community. One of the oldest streets in this city is called "White Settlement Road", actually this road is a path that led up to a white settlement. Literally, that white settlement was one of the first constructions of this city. That area of the city was called "white" because it was the main place where the white settlers rested.
