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.

Sundown towns are real but they're not really an american specific thing either. Tons of places on the planet will target you based on cultural shit. Closed Cities are some fascist ass shit

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.
If it is privatized there also exists the term "gated commnity" for it.
