Sunset Heights TX History


Sunset Heights' development started in 1910 when Richard Rodgers founded the Sunset Realty Company alongside George W. Cater, W. B. Courtney, and Benjamin R. Hardin.

The development's original plat divided the 240-acre area into 3,000-square-foot home sites (similar to Independence Heights).

The Sunset Heights Civic Club was formed the same year. As the neighborhood was originally within an unincorporated area, the civic club was instrumental in bringing electricity and other services to the community.

Like nearby Houston Heights, Sunset Heights also tried to become a city. Although several efforts were made to incorporate, like the Heights, Houston eventually annexed Sunset Heights in 1927.
