By 1961, this community of 1.75 square miles—which Johnson named Sunrise Golf Village—had fewer than 350 residents. It has been reported that the community was to be named Sunset Village—but this did not occur because of objections from residents who felt that "sunset" was too final. (Originally called "Sunset," the name did not sit well with the retirees whom developers wanted to attract, so a change was made to "Sunrise.") Johnson and F. E. Dykstra developed and built an "upside-down hous ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
