From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Sun Village is an unincorporated area in the Los Angeles County portion of the eastern Antelope Valley in Southern California. It lies north of Littlerock. The center of Sun Village may be considered to be Palmdale Boulevard and 90th Street East.
Historically the area within the Antelope Valley where African-Americans were redlined into buying real estate until the passage of fair housing and nondiscrimination laws in the 1960s, the area is now considered part of Littlerock, or separate from Littlerock, depending on which local resident one asks (according to Summer, 2005 reportage in the Antelope Valley Press). The issue of Sun Village's boundaries (or if it has any boundaries at all) is currently a topic of hot debate by the Littlerock Town Council.
Sun Village residents, like many other Antelope Valley communities, has residents who take part in local pageants. It operates its own local Chamber of Commerce apart from the Littlerock Chamber of Commerce.
Sun Village is the setting of the Frank Zappa song "Village of the Sun."
