The village of Shedd is located on the Oregon and California Railroad, twelve miles south of Albany, and was laid out about ten years ago by Capt. Frank Shedd, after whom it was named. The town site is an open, level prairie, surrounded by the richest agricultural lands for miles in all directions, and the farming community is a very prosperous one. The public school has an average daily attendance of about 40, and the district possesses a good school building, erected at a cost of about $700. The village has a church (Methodist), in which services are held every alternate Sunday by the pastor, Rev. Henry Jenkins. There is also a Lodge of Good Templars and a Grange of' Patrons of Husbandry.
