HISTORY: . . . one of the first
lakefront subdivisions on Lake Lyndon B. Johnson, is between Marble Falls and Llano in
Llano County. It was founded in 1958 by developer David Miller of San Antonio as a resort
and retirement center and given the name Sunrise Beach. In 1966 the community had
recreational facilities, motels, restaurants, and businesses concerned with building
trades. By 1970 the estimated population had risen to 800. After peaking at 1,025 in the
mid-1970s, the population fell to 420 by 1980. The community was incorporated shortly
thereafter, and the name was later changed to Sunrise Beach Village. In 1990 the
population was 497. The population reached 704 in 2000."
