Sutton County was created from Crockett
County by an act of the Texas legislature in 1887,
and was organized three years later. It was named
for Col. John S. Sutton, a confederate officer who
lost his life during the Sibley's Civil War
Expedition. Sonora, the only town in the county
was laid out in 1888 and was selected as the
county seat in 1889. The city was officially
incorporated in 1917. The estimated population of
the county in 2004 was 4,097, in 2010 it was
4,128.. Sonora is located 66 miles south of San
Angelo, 91 miles north of Del Rio on the Mexican
border and 175 miles west of San Antonio.
Interstate 10 runs just north of town and outside
of town are the Caverns
of
Sonora, some seven miles of caves with
exotic limestone formations, which are visited by
thousands of people annually.
