A frontier town that became a county seat
Rancher Charlie Adams settled Sonora as a frontier town in 1889. A year later it was chosen as the seat of Sutton County, and residents incorporated it as a city in 1917. Today about 2,500 people call Sonora home, on limestone hills dotted with live oak and juniper where the Hill Country gives way to West Texas.
