Sonora is a historic city located in Tuolumne County, California, situated in the foothills of the Sierra Nevada mountains. Founded during the California Gold Rush in 1848, the city served as an important mining camp and later developed into a significant regional center. Known as the "Queen of the Southern Mines," Sonora preserves much of its Gold Rush heritage through its well-maintained historic downtown district, featuring 19th-century architecture and buildings.

The city's cultural landscape reflects both its mining history and its role as a gateway to the Sierra Nevada region. Today, Sonora functions as the county seat of Tuolumne County and maintains its historical character while serving as a cultural and economic hub for the surrounding area. The city's proximity to Yosemite National Park and its position along Historic Highway 49 makes it a notable stop for those interested in California's rich history and natural heritage.
