History
editIn 1891, the city brought land near the intersection of Sherman Boulevard and Burleigh Street. The park, which was originally named Perrigo Park, had its name changed to "Sherman Park' to honor William Tecumseh Sherman.[2]
In 2018, the Sherman Phoenix, an indoor shopping mall, opened at 3536 W. Fond du Lac Ave, in a building that formerly occupied a BMO Bank.
2016 riot
editBetween August 13 and 15, civil unrest occurred in the neighborhood after Milwaukee Police officer Dominique Heaggan-Brown fatally shot 23-year-old Sylville Smith near 44th and Auer.
