Split Rock influence

The Split Rock Creek was one of the deciding ingredients for the location of the town of Sherman . It was a prime source of water for early settlers as they moved into the area. The Willmar and Sioux Falls Railroad Company, with Edwin Sherman as one of its directors and promoters, was one of the main reasons that the town of Sherman sprung to life in 1888, one year before South Dakota became a state. The Split Rock Creek would nourish the thirsty steam locomotives of the new railroad. Sherman and John Spicer, who was the president of the Willmar and Sioux Falls Railroad Company, selected the town sites along the railroad's 149 mile path. They also helped in the platting and naming of all the towns along the rail route. Sherman chose this particular town site as his namesake. M. J. Zeliff, early settler, helped plat the first eleven blocks in the new town. Sherman is located about 22 miles northeast o Sioux Falls , and is about one mile from the Minnesota state line.
