About Sharon Center, Ohio

Sharon Township was part of the 1786 Connecticut Western Reserve and was officially named Sharon in 1831, after Asenath Hayden suggested her Connecticut hometown. Before that the area went by Hart and Mathers, after two landowners, and briefly by Gask, a name residents disliked, according to the township's history page.

Settlement began in 1816, and Luther Fitch became the first postmaster in 1833. The Methodists built a church in 1842 that is still used, and an 1852 Universalist church later became the Town Hall. An 1881 county history says farming here moved from wheat and sheep to dairying and cheese-making.

The Sharon Township Fire Department, founded in 1949, now has about 40 part-time members. NBA executive Daryl Morey, listed by Wikipedia among Sharon Center's notable people, graduated from Highland High School on Ridge Road.
