Sherwood is a city in Renville County, North Dakota, United States.

It was founded in 1904 and named after Sherwood H. Sleeper, a Mohall banker who had owned land in the area.

[5] Sherwood is designated by the U.S. Customs and Border Protection agency as a port of entry between the United States and Canada.

[6] According to the United States Census Bureau, the city has a total area of 0.31 square miles (0.80 km2), all land.

A site for a town was purchased by Sherwood H. Sleeper in the summer of 1904 on the NE quarter of Section 12, Range 85, Township 163.

The earliest post office of Colquhoun was located on the west side of the township, five miles from the present site of Sherwood, on what was the Maurice Walsh farm.

The late C. A. Verry of Minot was instrumental in getting the “Nina” Post Office located in Calquhoun.

Later, both the Nina and Bolacker Post Offices were moved to the present site of Sherwood with Mrs. Alexander as postmistress.

Rural free delivery was established in the fall of 1904 with Fred Cool, Charlie King and Henry Hurdelbrink as mail carriers.

Brother Charles Gauber started a small school called the Simon Olson Shack before the town was incorporated.

The town grade school opened under Miss Lelah Conkey and Lily Traux.

The first graduation class from the high school were: Esther Stenzel, Cora Knutson, Paul Goheen, and Glenn Sansburn.

While they were trying to put out the fire, the wind changed direction and the men received severe injuries.

Six of the men survived, but two others, Craig Keith and Kevin Johnson, would later die of their injuries.

Today, a monument stands in front of the Sherwood Fire Department in memory of these two men.

In 2015, after failing to turn Leith into an all white community, Craig Cobb moved to Sherwood.
