Listings in Sheridan, TX

Welcome to Sheridan, a rural community in Colorado County, Texas, in cattle, oil, and deer-hunting country near Columbus.

Sheridan is an unincorporated community in Colorado County, Texas, in the rolling prairie and farmland of the east-central part of the state. The county, one of the original counties of the Republic of Texas formed in 1836, carries deep historical roots, and Sheridan sits within its southern reaches, southeast of Columbus, the county seat. The community's recorded history extends through much of the 20th century, when it served as a small agricultural and trading point for the surrounding area. With a population of roughly 500, Sheridan remains a compact, rural place. Its economy and character have long been tied to cattle production, oil and gas activity, and the excellent deer hunting of the surrounding countryside, a combination typical of this part of Colorado County. The landscape alternates between cropland, pasture, and pockets of woodland, and the community itself is spread along its roads rather than built around a dense center. Sheridan's public life revolves around its schools and its position within the Rice Consolidated Independent School District. Sheridan Elementary is located in the community, anchoring the town as a gathering point, while the district's middle and high schools are based nearby in Altair. This school presence gives Sheridan a civic heart that many small rural communities lack. Residents look to Columbus, about a short drive to the north, for county government, shopping, and services, while Houston lies within reach to the east along the Interstate 10 and U.S. 90 corridors. The Colorado River, which gives the county its name, runs through the area and shapes its agricultural identity. For those seeking a quiet, spread-out, ranch-country way of life with convenient access to Columbus and the Houston region, Sheridan offers a grounded rural setting in the heart of Colorado County.
