When the vortices were discovered in 1980s, Sedona abandoned its reputation as a tiny settlement for the fame of a New Age Destination. The first European settler to the area was Antonio de Espejo driven to the area of modern Sedona for the possibility of gold deposits. He didn’t find gold, but he did discover the beautiful landscapes of Sedona. This introduced the area to the world and drew the first permanent residents T.C. Schnebly and his wife. They established a post office in the city and named it as ‘Sedona’ in the 1900s.
