Sheridan is located near the northern border of Wyoming near the Montana state line with a superb view of the Bighorn Mountains to the west.

The county and city were named in honor of General Philip Sheridan who was a career U.S. Army officer serving as a Union general during the American Civil War.

In 1867, he was stationed in the West and

took part in the Indian battles along the

Bozeman Trail. This was the principal route taken by

prospectors on their way to the Montana gold fields.

 

The Sheridan Chapter, NSDAR, meets the third Thursday of the month. Members come from Sheridan County, as well as from Johnson County to the south.
