Sheridan is a small hamlet in Chautauqua County, New York, along the Lake Erie shore. Just 78 people live within the ZIP code's 1.1 square miles, making it one of the smaller communities in western New York.

The extra demand comes from surrounding rural areas where residents don't have nearby mail access. People drive to Sheridan's post office because it's their closest option for picking up mail and packages.

General Delivery service is available at the post office for those passing through or without a permanent box. Rural carrier routes extend service beyond the hamlet's boundaries, reaching addresses that couldn't otherwise receive mail.
