Sonora

On the western slope of the Edwards Plateau, Sonora began as trading post on the Old San Antonio-El Paso Road with Anglo-American settlement beginning about 1890. It was connected by stage to San Angelo until 1915, and its Western heritage is reflected still. The Sutton County seat is a leading wool and mohair center where a local firm produces garments, blankets and fabric from locally produced products. Hunters take deer and turkey during season.
