Panoramic View of Sonora with Church Steeple
Additional Details:
| Settled in 1848 by miners from Sonora, Mexico, who found enormously rich gold deposits in the surrounding ravines, this town was originally known as "Sonorian Camp". It became the biggest, wildest, and richest in the southern Mother Lode. Today, with its many well kept Victorian homes and its narrow streets that wind in and out of the hills, Sonora is a sparkling city with a strong feeling for its historic past. |
