Sundown is a city in Hockley County, Texas. The population was 1,505 at the 2000 census. Sundown was originally part of the C. C. Slaughterqv ranch. Bob Slaughter derived the name from that of a favorite movie, although some old-timers believe that the choice followed a long discussion among settlers which ended at sundown. Farm tracts were surveyed in 1926, and the town was laid out in 1928. Oil-related business increased prosperity, and the town was incorporated in 1947. www.tshaonline.org
