As an unincorporated community, Sherman has no legally defined boundaries or population statistics of its own. The community is located in the northwest portion of the county at the corner of four townships: Antioch, Hanover, Springville, and Wexford.
Settled as early as 1862, it was one of the earliest settlements in Wexford County and served as the first county seat from 1869 until 1881. Sherman incorporated as a village in 1887. A series of fires and population loss caused it to be nearly deserted after 1920, and the village disincorporated around 1940.
