Sheridan

Sheridan was developed as a farming community in the early 1900s and named for Hugh Sheridan, who sold land to develop the area. In 1908, a post office was established, and in 1909, the town was recorded in the Colorado County clerk’s office. Today the city is on U.S. 90-A and derives its income from cattle ranching and the Sheridan oil and gas field.

During season, hunters take white-tailed deer, turkey, dove, and wild hogs.
