Moses Hazeltine Sherman (1853-1932) was a land developer who built a streetcar line and owned property in the San Fernando Valley and Hollywood, California, USA. He also served on the Los Angeles Water Board.
There was a city named after him west of Los Angeles he founded called "Sherman". That town would eventually evolve to become the city of West Hollywood. The neighborhood of Sherman Oaks in the San Fernando Valley, northwest of Los Angeles, was named after his property there and continues to bear his name to this day.
The street Sherman Way, running east-west from West Hills to Burbank in the San Fernando Valley is also named after Sherman, as is Hazeltine Avenue, which runs north-south from Sherman Oaks to Panorama City.
