History

Formed in 1873 from Rooks County

An old deed may name a county that no longer exists, or a boundary that has since moved.

Sheridan County was created from non-county area in 1873 and initially attached to Rooks County for judicial purposes. The county was fully organized in 1880 and detached from Rooks County, then gained and lost territory through several boundary adjustments over the following years.

Boundary changes from the Newberry Library, Atlas of Historical County Boundaries.
