Sunrise, communities and more.
Originally known as Sunrise Golf Village, the City of Sunrise was incorporated in 1961 by Norman Johnson, a developer whose model homes attracted buyers to the western edge of Broward County. In 1971 the city changed its name to the City of Sunrise.
Until today sunrise remained a suburban city with warm inviting neighborhoods. The city of Sunrise is 20 miles inland from the Fort Lauderdale and is a home to the world-famous Sawgrass Mills outlet mall.
Here, residents enjoy the great outdoors with neighborhood and city parks, green space and large facilities with soccer fields, Olympic swimming pools, and bike trails.
