The City of Sunray, originally known as Altman, came into existence in 1930. The community was founded by Jack Collins, who was well-known in ranching and financial circles. When it was discovered that Rusk County already had claim to that name, the name Sunray was chosen. The name came from Sunray Oil Company, which set up a refinery near the town.
