Sheridan County, Administrative county in northeastern Montana, United States.
Sheridan County extends across 1,706 square miles of land, featuring plains, rolling hills, and agricultural territories bordering North Dakota and Saskatchewan.
The Montana Legislature established Sheridan County in 1913 by dividing portions of Dawson and Valley Counties, naming it after Civil War General Philip Sheridan.
The county experienced notable communist influence during the 1920s and 1930s, with the Communist Party successfully electing local officials and receiving 22% of votes in 1932.
The county maintains its administrative functions through the courthouse in Plentywood, which serves as the center for local government services and community operations.
Medicine Lake National Wildlife Refuge partially resides within the county borders, providing essential habitat for native species and environmental conservation efforts.
