Sherman is the northernmost and least populous town of Fairfield County, Connecticut, United States.

It is named for Roger Sherman, the only person who signed all four founding documents of the United States of America.

It was not until four years later that the white men called "The Proprietors" finally got the drawn marks of several other native people who may not have had authority to sell the land.

[4] They "purchased" a 31,000-acre tract of land that is now New Fairfield and Sherman, for 65 pounds sterling, the equivalent of about 300 dollars, on April 24, 1729.

Sherman is bordered by New Fairfield to the south, New Milford to the east, Kent to the north, and by Pawling, New York to the west.

Sherman is the location of Naromiyocknowhusunkatankshunk Brook[7] (29 letters), in the north end of town near the New Milford border.

[11] Candlewood Lake stretches from Danbury in the south, north to Sherman at a park named Veterans' Field.

It was designated in 1991 for its historic architecture including several houses, the town hall, school, and manufacturing facilities.

As of the census[13] of 2010, the population was 3,581 people, including 3,469 white, 35 Asian, 15 black, 1 Native American, 16 other, and 45 of two or more races.

Another Graham Masterton novel, "Spirit" (Dorchester Publishing Co. 2001, copyright 1995), is a ghost story set in Sherman in the 1940s and 1950s.
