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.
