Sherwood Forest is an area in Detroit, Michigan, United States. The district is bounded by Seven Mile Road, Livernois, Pembroke, and Parkside.[1] The community, with about 435 houses, consists of two subdivisions: Sherwood Forest and Sherwood Forest Manor.[2]

The neighborhood was named after Sherwood Forest in Nottinghamshire, England which was the setting for the Robin Hood tales.

Sherwood Forest was platted in 1917 by Manly Daniel Davis.[4] The first house appeared in 1922. The Sherwood Forest Association opened in 1929. Most of the houses were built in the late 1920s and 1930s. In 2002 Sherwood Forest became a Detroit Historic District.

Residents are zoned to Palmer Park Preparatory Academy, formerly the Barbara Jordan School,[5] for elementary and middle school.[6][7] All residents are zoned to Mumford High School.[8] Palmer Park is operated by teachers and not by a principal administrator.[9]
