Population over time
2 figuresSherwood fell from 827 to 802 between 2010 and 2020. These are the recorded population figures Wikidata holds for this place, reached through the Geographic Names Information System number this page is keyed on rather than by name, so they belong to this place and not to another of the same name. Most are census counts, but not all are: an early figure may be a founding or settlement estimate. The change column is computed, and is left blank where more than 20 years separate a figure from the one before it, because a gap that long is not a change between two counts.
| Year | People | Change |
|---|---|---|
| 2010 | 827 | |
| 2020 | 802 | -25 (-3%) |

|---|---|---|---|---|
| February 2008 | Flood | Sherwood | $20,000 | Local media reported that portions of State Route 424 in Defiance county had water on it. |
| April 2026 | Tornado (EF1) | Sherwood | - | A NWS damage assessment determined that an EF-1 rain-wrapped|tornado was embedded in a line of severe thunderstorms that went|through Defiance during the afternoon of April 4th. Beginning on|the southwest side of town, the tornado produced some minor|shingle/tree damage. At least one home was likely destroyed due|to a fallen tree. Sporadic, significant tree damage was observed|through Riverside Cemetery. The tornado then nearly paralleled S|Clinton St as it moved from southwest to northeast. The most|impressive damage was done near Davidson and S. Clinton St where|several trunks were snapped, a branch lodged into a roof, and|several wooden transmission lines were snapped. The circulation|continued into downtown Defiance, uprooting/snapping trees, and|producing minor to moderate roof damage to numerous businesses|including a large church, bank, and USPS building, among others.|Notable tree damage was done at the Old Fort before the tornado|crossed the river confluence. Video footage from residence|confirms a circulation made it across the river. Widespread|additional tree and roof damage was then noted in the|neighborhoods just north of the Maumee River and west of|Carpenter Rd. Finally, several trunks were snapped or uprooted in|the Eagle Rock Golf Course before the circulation appears to have|dissipated. |
| June 2021 | Thunderstorm Wind | Sherwood | - | A tree fell into a house. |
| July 2013 | Thunderstorm Wind | Sherwood | - | Emergency management officials reported roof damage to roughly 15 homes, businesses and apartment complexes. |
