Chartered in 1890, the Borough is named for an estate which was known as “Sharon” and which at one time comprised almost 75 acres of the town, which covers .77 square miles. The estate was owned by Halliday Jackson, a Quaker, whose ancestors emigrated from Ireland in the early 1700’s. Jackson’s son, John, founded the Sharon Female Seminary on part of the grounds in the early 1800’s Academy Park High School is the current school to occupy the site. We are an “historic” town in that most of our homes are over fifty years old and many are 75 to 100 years and over in age. We have a mixture of large single homes, twins and row homes throughout the town and we are especially proud of our well-kept parks, playgrounds and recreational areas.
