Sherman Park is a neighborhood, located on the northwest side of Milwaukee. It contains the neighborhoods of Grasslyn Manor,[1] Sunset Heights, Roosevelt Grove, St. Joseph's and Uptown neighborhood.
In 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.
See main article: 2016 Milwaukee riots. Between 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.
