Histoire
Sheridan is a ghost town in Logan County, Kansas, United States. Founded in 1868 at the western terminus of an important railroad line under construction, it served as a regional center of trade and departure point to the Santa Fe Trail to the south. In 1870, the local population abandoned the settlement due to the extension of the railroad west to Kit Carson, Colorado. During its brief existence, Sheridan earned a reputation for violence and lawlessness characteristic of the American frontier.
