Sidney is a progressive, growth-oriented community of approximately 21,000 population. Sidney offers a historic downtown featuring the famous Louis Sullivan designed People’s Savings & Loan building, the Monumental Building (erected as a monument to those Shelby Countians who died in the Civil War), and the Shelby County Courthouse. The Courthouse, which occupies one city-block known as Court Square, was recently named as one of the “Great American Public Places”.
Another unique characteristic of Sidney is its outstanding parks and recreation system.
