Sheldonista Garrett W. adds to our photos of "Sheldon Towns Around the World". Here's Sheldon, Missouri. And just in case you missed it, a close-crop shot of the population. Clearly, towns called Sheldon are universally mega-cities:

Thanks, Garrett!

For a quick view of all Sheldon cities in the US, go to the NWS [weather.gov] and type in "Sheldon" with nothing else in the box on the left. I count 22.

Mapquest says there are 10 Sheldon's in the US: http://www.mapquest.com/maps?city=Sheldon [mapquest.com] Alas, I am not near any of them or I'd include a pic...

I posted in the Sheldon UK thread a URL in Wikipedia that lists all the various Sheldon place names.

Here's some:

Sheldon, Illinois - Population 1,232

Sheldon, Iowa - Population 4,914 (the largest city in O'Brien county! Wooh!) 3 folks from the Olympics are from there as well as a Supreme court judge. Seems to be the place to be for controversy, a Marigold festival (which is awesome cuz the Marigold is my fave flower...gives me an excuse to visit Iowa...).
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sheldon,_Iowa

Sheldon, NY - Population 2,561 (reading the history...I realized I have ancestry from there! My great-great-great-great-great-great Grandmother died near there...)

Sheldon, North Dakota - Population 135. Controversy surrounds a well built in 1906...oooh.. :P

Sheldon, Texas - population 1,831

Sheldon, Vermont (also Sheldon Springs) - Population 1990

Sheldon, Wisconson. There's 2 of em! One in Monroe County (population 682) and one in Rusk County (population 256)

There's also a Sheldon in Queensland, Australia that was named after the Devonshire town.
