The scenic Town of Sherman, incorporated in Oct. 1802, is located in the Housatonic Valley at the northern end of Candlewood Lake. We are a rural community of 23.4 square miles with a population, est. 3,581 (as of 2010). Sherman is the northern most town in Fairfield County, accessed by state routes 39, 37, and 55. Sherman has an excellent K-8 School and our high school students have a choice of four area schools to attend.
Candlewood Lake stretches from Danbury in the south, north to Sherman at a park named Veterans' Field. The lake is the largest in Connecticut. It is artificial, created for the Rocky River hydro electric power plant in New Milford on the Housatonic River. The water is pumped through a large pipe into the lake.
