History and development
A Mr. Horton began ranching at the Sunnyside location sometime during the 1880s. A Mary Horton served as postmaster of a new post office established at this location on July 10, 1880, a station which would serve the entire White River Valley until January 31, 1933. The Hortons sold out to a John Whipple in 1904, who would also assume postmaster duties on September 27, 1917. In 1941, Sunnyside had a population of 27. John Whipple then sold the property to his son, Clair, who worked the property until they themselves sold out to the present owners in 1962.
