Sonora had a Hebrew Benevolent Society possibly as early as 1851 when the Hebrew Congregation of Sonora was established, and in 1853 land was acquired for a burial ground. By 1860 it had become the Sonora and Columbia Hebrew Benevolent Society, including members of the neighboring town of Columbia.
