Sheridan is an unincorporated community and census designated place in Colorado County, Texas, United States.

The company, in turn, entered into an agreement with the San Antonio and Aransas Pass Railway to develop the town and promote the sale of lots and small farms.

The plat of the town was recorded in the Colorado county clerk's office in 1909, and on March 6 of that year a hotel was completed to accommodate prospective buyers.

Termination of rail service following World War II coincided with the improvement of U.S. Highway 90-A, and the town suffered little in consequence.

In 1986 Sheridan had a population of 225 served by seventeen businesses and was noted for its cattle production, its oil and gas field, and the excellent deer hunting in the surrounding area.
