Analysis of information sources in references of the Wikipedia article "Alba, Texas" in English language version.
Alba, Texas was so named because settlers did not permit negroes to live there. Alba means 'white.'
It must be remembered that the labor situation at Alba and surrounding territory is different from that which prevails at any other lignite or coal mine in the entire State of Texas; this is due to the fact that the citizens of Alba and that community will not permit either negroes or Mexicans to work there. This makes the owners of the lignite mines at Hoyt, Tex., entirely dependent on white labor; whereas at other mines in Texas both negro and Mexican labor is permitted to enjoy the legal right to work.
