Named for the sun bursting over the buttes of theSweet Grass Hills, Sunburst is a small friendly community that we are proud to call home.

We are located 20 miles west of these beautiful Sweet Grass Hills, 8 miles south of the Canadian Border and about 100 miles east of Glacier National Park.

The town today supports many businesses and boasts the finest schools in the state.  Our businesses include a post office, credit union, telephone company, library, grocery store, restaurant, 2 bars, bulk gas station,  2 beauty shops, laundramat, transloading service, insurance company, contractors, metal fabrication, grain elevator, medical clinic, photography studio and more. We are also home to the Lutheran Church of Sunburst, St. Thomas Aquinas Catholic Church, United Methodist Church and The Church On The Rock.

We have 2 schools that serve families from Sunburst and the surrounding areas.  Sunburst Elementary  has an enrollment of approximately 137 and North Toole County High School has 69 students.  Our schools are known nationally for their excellent science programs. The schools offer many extra-curricular activities for all ages.

Our main industry is Homeland Security, with the largest commercial port, the Port of Sweet Grass, just up the highway, and the Sweet Grass Border Patrol Station located here in Sunburst.  We are also a largely agricultural community with surrounding land used for wheat farming and cattle ranching.

The area's highlights include Gala Days, a weekend of fun in the summer that supports our local swimming pool.  During the winter we hold an annual Christmas Stroll where residents gather for an evening of local shopping, food, and entertainment by our school children.  There's even a horse drawn hay ride!
