It lies within the civil parish of Ballymyre and the townland of Corlat ({{Irish derived place name|Corr Leacht|round hill of the monument}}).[2] In the 2011 Census it had a recorded population of 352.[3] It has one public house, which was built in the 1970s on the site of the old police barracks. The original public house stood a few hundred yards away, at the bottom of the Ballymoyer Road. The old creamery was held in high regard and was once noted for producing fine butter and cheese for rich Irish households. It was also one of the earliest co-operatives in the country. The townland of Corlat is one of eight townlands given to the Maor family as reward for keeping the famous Book of Armagh (the name Maor meaning "steward" or "keeper" in Irish). This famous book is now held at Trinity College, Dublin. The most notable incident in Whitecross during The Troubles was the shooting dead of three brothers on 4 January 1976. Schools
