Sidney is the hometown of renowned scientist and Nobel Prize winner Paul Lauterbur, who was involved in the invention of the MRI.

Before railroads came to Sidney, it was the only alternative to muddy unpaved roads. Part of the canal remains south of Water Street. The town of Buckeye, Arizona was originally named after Sidney.
