The City of Sheridan is a home rule municipality located in Arapahoe County, Colorado, United States.

McBroom built his first log cabin near Bear Creek which he later abandoned in 1866 when he married Emma J. Bennett.

The town had a railroad, hotel, blacksmith, church, newspaper, post office and, of course, taverns.

[12] General Sheridan established Fort Logan, which was originally known as the "Camp close to Denver".

It was on the site known as the Johnson Tract, south of the city, with a water supply, the proximity of the railroad, "available space for a parade ground, artesian well possibilities, the beautiful view and the distance from Denver and its saloons.

However, eventually the post was shut down, and it is now a mental health facility that borders Sheridan.

Sheridan has remained a community that continues to influence the surrounding areas, most recently with current redevelopment projects.

When the writers originally chose the name, they were not aware that the town of "Sheridan, Colorado" existed.
