The polled Park cattle of the British Isles were given the distinguishing breed name British White back in the 1940's and at the same time the horned variety of Park cattle were given the name White Park. Prior to this, both the horned and polled Park cattle records were kept within the now defunct Park Cattle Society.

There continues to be much misinformation regarding the ancient reach of the British White breed in the British Isles. The notion that this breed was brought in by the Vikings has long been shown to be invalid as there is obvious mention of the breed in historical and literary writings that well predate the arrival of the Vikings. As well, one continuously sees the perpetuation of the notion that the first mention of the breed is in the 16th century, and that is clearly an error of great proportion.

Please see http://www.jwest.biz/BritishWhiteHistory.htm for an in-depth exploration of this ancient breeds adulation and existence as far back as historical and literary records exist in the oral and written annals of the British Isles.
