Later Isaac McBroom brother of John McBroom laid out Sheridan Junction. These two unique communities eventually merged. In 1890 they officially became Sheridan. This wasn’t just a random name. It honored General Philip Sheridan a prominent figure in the US Army. A military post Fort Logan was established nearby in 1887. It was initially hoped to be named Fort Sheridan.
