Sherman, Illinois
Sherman
Sherman, Illinois is located north of Springfield, the capitol of Illinois. In 1858, four men, Virgil Hickox, Cornelius Flagg, Joseph Ledlie and David Sherman bought, surveyed and platted what is now called Sherman. Early settlers in Sherman were predominately Italian and involved in the coal mining industry. Sherman was incorporated as a village in 1959 with a population of 209 people. During the 1970’s, Sherman began to grow due to its close proximity to Springfield and Interstate 55. Sherman’s first growth was primarily residential. Sherman continues this growth pattern today and currently has a population of approximately 3,500 people. With this growth has come a surge of diverse service business expansion.

It’s great seeing all the people using our wonderful new recreation trail. I would like to please ask those with dogs to pick up after your dogs. It’s only March and already being littered with piles both big and small in the middle of the trail, in the rocks along the side of the trail and on the bridges. It’s simple common courtesy and it is starting to look terrible with all the piles. Help us keep the trail wonderful for all.

We hope you like the Christmas decorations at the 66 Memorial Rest Area. Huge thanks to Punkie Schrader, Sheila Rock Fitschen, and Deana Poe for decorating with me and to Judy Johnson Krell, Margaret Schneider, Robert Polistina, Helen E. Poe and Janet McLay for contributing some decorations. The outlet keeps tripping so not all of it is lit, but hoping that will be fixed soon.
