Welcome to Sunburst, Montana

Sunburst is twenty-seven miles north of Shelby near Canada. The name was suggested by William George Davis, who noted that the sun, as it rose, burst over the Sweet Grass Hills and shone down in the valley where the little town was begun. It became a boom town in 1922 when oil was discovered in the rich Kevin-Sunburst oilfields. (from Cheney's Names on the Face of Montana, Mountain Press Publishing Company)
