LOCAL AREA - Sheridan is on U.S. Highway 90-A and the Middle and West forks of Sandy Creek, near the southwestern boundary of Colorado County. Although it was developed as a farming community, it now derives most of its income from cattle ranching and from the Sheridan oil and gas field. The town dates from 1908, when Hugh Sheridan, from whom the town got its name, sold extensive acreage to the San Antonio Loan and Securities Company.

Other popular crops included cucumbers, melons, potatoes, and strawberries.

In 1986 Sheridan had a population of 225 served by seventeen businesses and was noted for its cattle production, its oil and gas field, and the excellent deer hunting in th |
