Share an Architect’s VisionThe beautiful stone courthouse, designed by famed architect, Oscar Ruffini, represented frontier law and order. The Sutton County Courthouse was restored to its original splendor during recent years and was awarded Best Restoration Project 2002 by the Texas Downtown Association.

The Old Sonora Ice House Ranch Museumpreserves and honors our rich livestock

heritage and settler families for their courageous spirit to embrace a life of hardship, adventure and the unknown. We showcase the lawmen of Sutton County and display Deputy Sheriff J.L. Davis’ pistol that is proven to be “The Pistol” that brought down the infamous outlaw Will Carver.

Sonora Golf ClubSonora has many unexpected diversions for a small West Texas

Town. Sonora Golf Club is a wonderful nine-hole golf course that has been awarded

the “Best Nine-Hole Golf Course” in Texas. It is an oasis set in beautiful rugged West Texas with a challenging and scenic course. The quality of this course is truly unsurpassed, and the sunset is magnificent with white tailed deer and wild turkey coming in to water each evening.

Miers Home MuseumBuilt in 1888 by Isaac Miers, this home was only the fifth structure built in Sonora.

After being shot in a dispute over water at the town well, Isaac stumbled back to his house where he died. The home was donated to the Sutton County Historical Society and is now a museum containing artifacts and memorabilia from Sonora’s past.

SONORA, TEXAS. 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. About 1885 Charles G. (Charlie) Adams, a rancher and merchant from Fort McKavett, settled on four sections of land two miles north of Winkler’s Well (later Wentworth). He named the site Sonora, after a family servant from Sonora, Mexico, in 1887 and drilled a well in 1889, the year the community received a post office. Adams offered free lots in his town, which in 1890 was selected as the county seat. The

community comprised eighteen houses, three stores, two livery stables, two hotels, a combined schoolhouse and Masonic lodge, and fourteen tents. The weekly Devil’s River News, Sutton County’s oldest continuously operating business, began publication in 1890 under the direction of Mike Murphy. 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. R. W.

Callahan, who owned much of the city property, donated land for the courthouse, which was completed in 1893. Most of the area residents were ranchers. In 1900 a number of merchants led by E. F. Vander Stucken formed the First National Bank of Sonora. On September 12, 1902, a fire wiped out nearly half the town’s businesses. Proprietors who could afford to rebuild did so with native stone. A new school building was completed in 1904. In the early days supplies were freighted from San Angelo and Fort McKavett by wagons, a round trip that took from six to fifteen days. In 1908 the Kansas City, Mexico and Orient Railway was awarded a contract to lay track from San Angelo to Del Rio with a stop in Sonora. Work began in 1909, but financial problems retarded progress. Eventually, in 1928, the Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe acquired the Orient line and began construction on the San Angelo-to-Sonora portion of the original proposed route. On May 13, 1930, after a wait of some twenty-three years, the first train rolled into Sonora.

From a population of 738 in 1904, the town grew to 1,009 in

1925 and nearly 1,800 by the end of the decade. Between 1910 and 1920 several churches were constructed, including Baptist, Episcopal, and Methodist. In 1914 the First National Bank reported capital holdings of $100,000, and a second newspaper, C. R. Meyers’ New Era, began publication. Sonora was incorporated in 1917. Above all else, prosperity continued to depend on livestock and livestock products. With the price of wool and mohair steadily rising throughout the teens, in 1916 Sonora moved to ensure the industry’s continued health by using a $15,000 state grant to establish, in tandem with Texas A&M, a Texas Agricultural Experiment Station on five sections of land outside the city limit. This project is dedicated to researching livestock diseases and methods to improve production. When the Great Depression caused the price of wool to drop by more than half, local sheep and goat raisers organized the Wool and Mohair Cooperative Marketing Association, later known as the Sonora Wool and Mohair Company. The cooperative sold 2,738,600 pounds of wool in its first year, and as time

went on it helped stabilize commodity prices. The Sonora Wool and Mohair Company continued to handle most of the region’s production into 1990; in 1964 it marketed four million pounds of wool and mohair at a return of $3 million. It sponsors the annual Sonora Wool and Mohair Show, where the National 4-H Wool Judging Contest has been held since 1938.

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. Federally sponsored programs, largely administered by the Work Projects Administration, enabled Sonora to construct a combination fire station and city hall (the first WPA project in that part of Texas), and to make improvements in the municipal waterworks and light plant. Residents voted to place water, waste disposal, and utilities under municipal control. This arrangement, one of the few of its type in Texas, was still maintained in 1990. In addition, the city was able to complete the L. W. Elliot School in 1936. The prosperity that followed

World War II stimulated another wave of development. The first city hospital was constructed in 1955, largely with a gift from the estate of community leader Roy Hudspeth. The first adequate airport, Joe Berger Field, was completed in 1957. In 1959 the city council commissioned plans for a series of flood-control dams; thirteen were constructed on the Devil’s River Draw and Lowrey Draw by March 1961. By that time Sonora had a population of 2,633. During the 1970s oil and gas exploration peaked in the area. In 1977 an estimated 5,000 to 6,000 people lived in Sonora. But that year the boom ended, and the Santa Fe Railroad received permission to close its Sonora terminal. In 1984 the population was 4,500; 52 percent were Mexican American. The schools were integrated in 1970. In 1990 the population had fallen to 2,751. The population in 2000 was 2.954, the 2005 population was 3,008 and the 2010 population was 3027.

Located where the rolling Texas Hill Country meets the romantic vistas of West Texas, the X Bar Ranch is a nature retreat that is truly one-of-a-kind. Whether you’re looking for solitude, a weekend adventure or even a uniquely beautiful location for your next big event, the X Bar has you covered. Choose from any of our six well-appointed private cabins, the solitude of the grand and aptly named Round House or enjoy sweeping views from the rocking chairs on the porch of the Live Oak Lodge. During your stay at the X Bar Ranch the land around you is yours to experience.

The X Bar Ranch Nature Retreat lies approximately 20 miles west of Eldorado,

Texas and only 8 miles north of Interstate 10. Its location makes it a perfect stopping place for those traveling to and from far West Texas, including Alpine, Big Bend National Park, Ft. Davis and Marfa. And - for those wanting to make a longer stay of it - this is the perfect weekend or family getaway for those seeking solitude and a natural environment while still enjoying the charm of the nearby small communities.

At just under three hours from San Antonio and around three and a half hours from Austin, the X Bar offers the best of both regions it sits astride - the heritage and ruggedness of West Texas and the lush rolling vegetation of the Texas Hill Country. Stop on by and experience the X Bar for yourself.

What makes the X Bar so special? It’s semi-remote nature coupled with full amenities, of course. While the X Bar is located far from large cities and some 20 miles from the nearest town, its fully furnished cabins and Round House offer guests an incredible opportunity to reconnect with nature in total comfort. In a similar fashion to bed and breakfasts, the X Bar Ranch provides its guests with unique lodging options and opportunities for activity.

Sonora’s Community Prayer Garden is a beautiful reflection of the spirit of this West Texas community. Dedicated by Bill and Barbara Savell to Leo Bishop, a Texas Ranger and Barbara’s father who once lived catty-corner of the garden. The peaceful setting invites visitors to enjoy a time of renewal and inspiration. The observant eye will discover symbolism throughout the expertly crafted rock work as well as in the adornment of the handmade, six-foot cross that serves as a centerpiece of the prayer garden. Completing the spiritual nourishment to be found here is the rock waterfall and pond where the continual music of trickling water provides the perfect soothing background for your quiet pleasure. Truly a community effort, each local church is represented by the scripture rocks along the walkway and all are invited to experience the serenity and beauty of this unique and special place.
