Sunrise:
From Sunset to Sunrise

Originally known as Sunset, the community first changed to Sunrise Golf Village in 1961, only to be reincorporated as Sunrise 10 years later. The suburban city maintains its small-town feel to this day, with neighbors greeting one another by name on balmy morning walks.
