Sunset Hills Fun Fact
Sunset Hills earned its name fair and square—resident Vincent Gilliam looked at the area's rolling hills and gorgeous sunsets and thought, "Yep, that's the one!" The city incorporated in 1957 to avoid being annexed by Kirkwood, proving that sometimes you've got to stake your claim to keep your name. But here's a twist: in the 1930s, part of Sunset Hills was home to Minnie Ha Ha Beach, a popular resort along the Meramec River. The city bought the land in 2000 and reopened it as Mini Ha Ha Park in 2005. And if you're wondering about that Route 66 connection, Watson Road (the main drag) became part of the Mother Road in 1932. So yes, you can literally get your kicks on Route 66 in Sunset Hills!
