 | | Sonora, the county seat of Sutton County, is on Interstate Highway 10 sixty-five miles south of San Angelo and ninety miles north of Del Rio in the north central portion of the county. |
 | | By 1892 Sonora had 700 inhabitants, two saloons, a grain and flour mill, a restaurant, three physicians, and at least one church; it was connected to San Antonio by a mail stage. |
 | | The population of Sonora remained steady in the 1920s at about 1,900, and the number of businesses, after declining from fifty-five to forty-three between 1931 and 1933, held firm for the rest of the decade. |
