Sunrise, Florida

Located few miles west of Fort Lauderdale, Sunrise is a flourishing community in central-western Broward County, Florida. Its neighbors include Davie, Lauderhill, Weston and Plantation. It is part of the Miami metropolitan area which is home to more than six million people. The city is managed by a government based on the commission/manager concept. It is headed by a mayor, who is assisted by four city commissioners.

The development of Sunrise is attributed to developer Norman Johnson, who bought 2,650 acres of land in the area in 1960. The community, which was targeted at retirees, was originally to be known as Sunset Village. But residents objected to the choice due to the finality somewhat suggested by the name. This led to a change to "Sunrise." The community was incorporated as Sunrise Golf Village in 1961, with Johnson appointed its first mayor by Governor Farris Bryant. It had less than 350 residents at the time.

Many people were lured to the area by a world-famous "upside-down" house developed and constructed by Johnson and F. E. Dykstra. Publicity in the media about the house attracted thousands of people from across the country, with some staying back to make the Village their home. By 1967, it had 4,300 residents who occupied just 1.75 square miles. Sunrise, incorporated as a city in 1971, started expanding in the 1970s. It now covers more than 18 square miles, extending to the Everglades. Today, the city has more than 92,000 residents, according to 2015 estimates.

Sunrise is a full-service city. It provides its own utility services, including natural gas, water and wastewater. Its water and wastewater system extends about 70 miles serving over 200,000 commercial and residential customers. The city's utilities department operates what is considered Florida's sixth-largest municipal gas system. Sunrise also has several other departments, including police, fire rescue, community development and leisure services.
