Sunset, located on the city's sunny southern slope, stretches from Ontario to Knight Street, and from 41st Avenue to the North Arm of the Fraser River. It is home to the Punjabi Market shopping district on Main Street and to a well-established, single-family oriented community.

Originally known as South Vancouver and locally as South Hill, the area's current name dates from 1967, following the naming of Sunset Nurseries, Sunset Park, and the Sunset Community Centre.
