Sonora (Spaingie pronunciation: [soˈnoɾa]) offeecially Estado Libre y Soberano de Sonora (Scots: Free an Sovereign State o Sonora) is ane o the 31 states which, wi the Federal Destrict, comprise the 32 Federal Entities o Mexico. It is dividit intae 72 municipalities; the caipital ceety is Hermosillo. Sonora is locatit in Northwast Mexico, bordered bi the states o Chihuahua tae the east, Baja California tae the northwast an Sinaloa tae the sooth. Tae the north, it shares the U.S.–Mexico border wi the states o Arizona an New Mexico, an on the wast haes a significant share o the coastline o the Gulf o Californie.
Sonora's naitural geography is dividit intae three pairts: the Sierra Madre Occidental in the east o the state; plains an rollin hills in the center; an the coast on the Gulf o Californie. It is primarily arid or semi-arid deserts an grasslands, wi anerlie the heichest elevations haein sufficient rainfaw tae support ither types o vegetation.
Sonora is hame tae aicht indigenous fowks, includin the Mayo, the Yaqui an the Seri. It haes been economically important for its agricultur, livestock (especially beef) an minin syne the colonial period, an for its status as a border state syne the Mexican–American War. Efter the Gadsden Purchase, Sorona lost mair nor a quairter o its territory.[9] Frae the 20t century tae the present, industry, tourism an agribusiness hae dominatit the economy, attractin migration frae ither pairts o Mexico.
