Date Conquered: 8/15/07 Nearest Intersection: Canyon Creek Ct. Quick Description: A marker honoring an early and nearly forgotten Mormon settlement. Signed: Yes -- Signed on both lanes of SR 206. Full Description: Exact description as reads ... In 1861, a blacksmith shop, a store, a boarding house, and two saloons comprised the village of Sheridan. The village had grown up around Moses Job's General Store prior to 1855. The surveyor general, in his 1889-90 biennial report, stated that Sheridan was the metropolis of the Carson River West Fork farmers. The Sheridan House, erstwhile boarding adobe, has been converted to a dwelling. It may be seen across the road. It is all that remains of the "metropolis." Moses Job, an irrepressible man, climbed the peak above you, planted the American flag and with a shout named the peak after himself! You are looking into Job's Canyon, to its left is Job's Peak, to its right is Job's Sister. Suburbia has encroached on the open land surrounding [122] Sheridan over the past decade. The "dwelling" mentioned in the text is located behind this overgrown structure. The owner of the Sheridan House emailed me with this confirmation in early 2010.
