Sharpsburg, Residential borough in Pittsburgh metropolitan area, United States.
Sharpsburg spans across 0.63 square miles along the Allegheny River, with residential areas divided by railroad tracks into northern and southern sections.
James Sharp established the settlement in 1826 by purchasing 257 acres of land, constructing a log cabin and developing essential community facilities.
The borough maintains two separate fire departments and schools due to the railroad tracks that physically separate different parts of the community.
Kennedy Park provides recreational spaces for residents while James Sharp Landing offers river access and hosts regular community fishing events.
Henry John Heinz started the H.J. Heinz Company in 1869 from his Sharpsburg home, where he first produced and sold horseradish.
