Sharon, Colonial town in Litchfield County, Connecticut, US
The town stretches across 59.6 square miles of land in the northwest corner of Connecticut, with an elevation ranging from 216 to 346 meters.
The area was first inhabited by the Mattabesec Native Americans of the Wappinger confederacy before the town's incorporation in 1739, named after the Plain of Sharon.
