Sheridan Road is a major north-south street that leads from Diversey Parkway[1] in Chicago, Illinois, north to the Illinois-Wisconsin border and beyond to Racine.

Throughout most of its run, it is the easternmost north-south through street, closest to Lake Michigan.

Sheridan Road is known for its historic sites, lakefront parks, and gracious mansion homes in Evanston through Lake Bluff.

[4] In 1889 this road was named Sheridan Road for Philip Henry Sheridan,[5] a general in the Civil War who coordinated military relief efforts in Chicago following the Great Chicago Fire.

This made the route coextensive with the Illinois portion of Sheridan Road.
