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.

The Sharon Historic District encompasses Main Street from Low Road to Mitchelltown and Amenia Union, featuring a stone library and historical society building.

The Sharon Center School serves students from kindergarten through eighth grade before they advance to Housatonic Valley Regional High School.

A stone clock tower from 1885 stands at the town entrance, marking the border with New York State and continuing to display accurate time.
