First Sunset Area Settlers Arrived in 1871 in Wildwood Frontier
The first Sunset area pioneers from Denton County arrived in 1871 in horse drawn wagons. Mr Moore, the Burris families and a few others settled in Brushes Creek valley east of today’s Sunset townsite. They built with post oak timber, faced isolation, and relied on wild game for sustenance while slowly establishing homes and farms.
