Sunset, Utah
Sunset is a small city in northern Davis County. Sunset shares a border with Roy to the north, Clinton to the west, Clearfield to the south, and Hill Air Force Base to the east. The area of present-day Sunset was first used by Mormon settlers from neighboring settlements as a place to feed and graze livestock during the winter. Eventually, homes and farms began to spring up in the area. The community was known as Summit until 1896 when the name was changed to Clinton. In 1916, a group of residents living in eastern Clinton separated from Clinton and formed their own town, which they named Sunset because of the beautiful views of the sun setting over the Great Salt Lake to the west. Sunset was officially incorporated in 1935.
