Additional Details:
Tuolumme County was one of the original twenty-seven counties and Sonora has always been the county seat. There are two groups of Sequoia gigantea Groves in the county. This is an area rich in Indian picture-writings. It was Gabriel Moraga who passed through here in 1806 and named the Tuolumne and Stanislaus rivers. Sonora Pass has been used since 1853 when the first party of emigrants crossed the mountains lead by Duckwall and Wash. Indians used the pass before the advent of the white man. In 1848 the town was called Sonorian Camp, settled by Mexicans from the state of Sonora.. M.P
