About Sonora, Texas
Sonora is a city of 2,502 people and the county seat of Sutton County, in west Texas. Around 1885 Charles G. "Charlie" Adams, who ranched and kept a store at Fort McKavett, took up four sections two miles north of Winkler's Well. In 1887 he named the place for a family servant who came from Sonora, Mexico. He drilled a well in 1889, the same year a post office opened, and he gave away lots to draw settlers. The plan worked: in 1890 the town was picked as county seat, and by 1892 it had 700 people, three doctors, a flour mill and a mail stage to San Antonio.
For years freight came by wagon from San Angelo or Fort McKavett, on round trips that lasted anywhere from six to fifteen days. The Kansas City, Mexico and Orient Railway won a contract in 1908 to build from San Angelo to Del Rio through Sonora, and work started in 1909, but the company ran short of money. The Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe bought the line in 1928 and built the stretch from San Angelo. On May 13, 1930, the first train finally reached Sonora, after a wait of some twenty-three years.
- A courthouse on donated landR. W. Callahan, who owned much of the property in the young town, gave the land for the Sutton County Courthouse, and the building was finished in 1893. It joined the National Register in 1977.
- A Wild Bunch outlaw in 1901On the night of April 2, 1901, Sheriff E. S. Briant and his deputies tried to arrest William Carver, an outlaw who rode with Butch Cassidy's Wild Bunch. Carver was suspected of killing Oliver Thornton in Concho County. The arrest ended in gunfire inside Jack Owen's Bakery, where Carver was shot dead. The Old Sonora Ice House Ranch Museum tells his story today.
- Rebuilt in stone after 1902A fire on September 12, 1902, destroyed close to half of Sonora's businesses. Owners who had the money built again using native stone, and a new school building followed in 1904.
- Wool and mohair countryIn 1916 a $15,000 state grant let Sonora open a Texas Agricultural Experiment Station with Texas A&M on five sections outside town, studying livestock diseases and better production. After the Great Depression cut wool prices by more than half, sheep and goat ranchers started a marketing cooperative, later called the Sonora Wool and Mohair Company.
- First WPA project in the regionDuring the Depression, federal money, most of it handled by the Work Projects Administration, paid for one building to serve as both Sonora's fire station and its city hall. It was the WPA's first project anywhere in that part of Texas. The same programs improved the city's waterworks and light plant, and residents voted to put water, waste disposal and utilities under city control, a setup few Texas towns had.
