Sherman is the Grayson County’s seat. It is a thriving city where residents work hard together in order to bring out the best of their area. Sherman has long been luring visitors and potential residents. The city of Sherman was founded ten years after the famous fall of the Alamo. After the event, the city rapidly became a retailing center. Regardless of some great developments all around Texas, Sherman still remains as an important crossroad for travelers or visitors since it offers entertainment, recreation, shopping opportunities, and great Sherman TX real estate.

In 1846, Sherman was founded by the commissioners of Grayson County. Named after General Sidney Sherman, a Texas Revolution hero, the town became a historical site where old and impressive architecture abound. In 1848 just two years after it was created the city was moved to its present site since there was lesser wood and water on its original location. Its relocation was also done in order to cultivate Pecan trees which was a symbolic tree for the town. As the city grew, its life revolved around a pecan tree in its city square where court sessions and meetings were held.
