Sherman’s history is
mostly unwritten
The public archives hold just one old photo of Sherman. The rest are in attics, shoeboxes and the historical society. Help start the collection.
The story so far
from Wikipedia & the U.S. CensusSherman Township is one of the nineteen townships of Huron County, Ohio, United States. As of the 2020 census the population of the township was 519.
Its population held steady between the last two censuses: 510 people in 2010, 519 in 2020. Half of its homes were built before 1938.
Wikipedia doesn’t have a history of Sherman yet — the old photos, dates and memories neighbors add here are how it gets written.

Nothing in Sherman is on the National Register yet
That’s true of most small towns. It doesn’t mean Sherman has no history, only that no one has written up a nomination. The closest listed place is Hunts Corners in Lyme, 3.8 miles away.
