COMMUNITY NOTES |
| Our Community: | Like many rural communities, Sumner's peak population of about 350 was during the 1920's. The 1990 population was a stable 210, and the 2000 census showed an increase of 12.9% to 237. The business district is not large, but serves the community and surrounding farming and ranching area. Plans are underway to add additional single family affordable housing to attract more families to the town. |
