Sheridan History
Sheridan is a municipality located in the Arapahoe county. It was initially called Petersburg, after an influential farmer who bought 160 acres of land in the area.

John McBroom was among the earliest settlers in this city; the city owes it layout to McBroom's brother, Isaac. The town was incorporated into the state in 1890.
