Sunshine

A community in Rutherford County
… community in NE Rutherford County on Robinson Creek. Served by post office, 1881-1908. Named prior to 1881 by J. W. Biggerstaff, who had a store there. The site is shaded in the early morning by Cherry Mountain, but it acquired its name because local residents could see the sunshine on the top of the mountain.
