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.

Sherman County was created on March 20, 1873, from non-county area and was initially attached to Rooks County for judicial purposes. The county was named after William Tecumseh Sherman. Sherman was fully organized on September 20, 1886, after being attached to other counties for judicial administration.
