Since 1884

A short history of Sharon

The community of Sharon is visible on maps as early as 1865. The Georgia General Assembly incorporated Sharon as a town in 1884. The community is named after the Plain of Sharon, a place mentioned in the Hebrew Bible.

Into the 1890s, Sharon was bustling with thousands of travelers who came there for the reputed healing powers of the nearby Electric Health Resort, where it was said that exposure to bedrock in a subterranean chamber provided electrical healing powers. The resort, which included a hotel, lake, and post office, eventually burned down.
