    A closed city or town is a settlement where travel or residency restrictions are applied so that specific authorization is required to visit or remain overnight.

    The USA version of this is a sundown town. The reason is racism.

    And because I respect you (and I’m not a monster) I altered the URL to point to the main article and not the mobile version. Ffs, people, just delete two characters.

          Sundown towns are. Not sure what sunset town is. Nor is a sundown town a “closed city”… Anyone could go in, but certain folks might be lucky to be merely ran out.
