Sunset Heights is a neighborhood of El Paso, Texas, located along the US-Mexico border. During the early 1880s, Josh Fisher Satterthwaite built 90 houses in the "Satterthwaite Addition", only to lose the land in 1894 and for it to be renamed "Sunset Heights" in 1901. During that time, Chinese workers who had been kept out of the United States by the Chinese Exclusion Act tunneled their way into America via Sunset Heights. During the Mexican Revolution, many affluent Mexicans fled across the border from Ciudad Juarez to El Paso and settled in Sunset Heights, whose residents came to include Victoriano Huerta, Pascual Orozco, and Pancho Villa. The area was a fashionable neighborhood until the Great Depression, after which many of the area's historic buildings became derelict and neglected. The area became a historic district in 1984.
