Sheridan County

Sheridan County is an administrative division in northern Wyoming that includes several towns and rural communities spread across the landscape. The region stretches from mountain foothills down to prairie areas with rivers and valleys.

The county was established as a central point between Yellowstone National Park and the Black Hills, near historical sites like Fort Phil Kearny. This location made it an important crossing and settlement area during the frontier period.

The county maintains a balance between urban development in Sheridan city while preserving agricultural traditions in surrounding townships and rural settlements.

Interstate 90 and U.S. Highways 14, 14A, and 87 pass through the county, linking different towns and destinations. Having a vehicle makes it easy to explore the various areas and communities.

The county's position at the base of the Big Horn Mountains creates a geographic intersection of plains, mountains, and river valleys in northern Wyoming.
