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.

Located in Sonora at the end of N. Concho Ave., peace and tranquility awaits you at the wonderful Community Prayer Garden.  Built by the loving people of this town and with the funding assistance of many local businesses. 

The Caverns of Sonora is located 8 miles west of Sonora, Texas, off of IH-10 on exit 392.  Come experience the beauty that west Texas has to offer. At the Caverns of Sonora, there are many activities to keep you busy, such as: Sluicing for gems, exploring the nature trail, camping out in an RV or tent, and relaxing while enjoying the outdoors.
