About Sunburst, MT

Sunburst has its origins as a farming community and later saw significant population growth after oil development occurred in the 1920s. Since oil development in the area ceased in the 1970s Sunburst has once again become a primarily agricultural town. The local high school still gives homage to its past, as its students are known as the Sunburst Refiners. It is roughly 30 miles north of Shelby and is near the Canada–US border. Its name comes from what is considered a dramatic sunrise that occurs when the sun comes over the Sweetgrass Hills and illuminates the local fields.
