Homesteading in Sherman County
Sherman Center
Sherman Center, first called Shermanville,
was founded in May 1886 near the geographical center of Sherman
County. On September 20, 1886, the town was established by Governer
John A. Martin's proclamation; the same proclamation also named
Eustis the temporary county seat. Shortly after Goodland was founded
several miles to the south, the town of Sherman Center ceased
to exist.
The ethnicity of its settlers is not
known.
