With 32,000 residents and nealry four square miles of land, Sherman Park is one of Milwaukee's largest neighborhoods perhaps best understood as a confederation of smaller neighborhoods--Grasslyn Manor, Sunset Heights, Uptown Crossing, and several others. Each has its own visual character and its own cultural patterns, but all pledge allegiance to the same Sherman Park flag. The 30th Street industrial corridor lies to its east, but Sherman Park grew up in the 1900s as a new kind of urban community providing homes for merchants, middle managers, and skilled tradesmen.
