The story

from WikipediaRead it all ↗

What is now Sheridan was formerly part of the historical territories of the Quapaw Nation. After the Indian Removal Act of 1830, the Quapaw were removed from the land and pushed further west. By 1833 most had been removed to the Indian Territory and the land was ceded to the United States. The first recorded Anglo-American settler was Dr. Richard C. Rhodes, a native of North Carolina.
