Sharon's city limits radiate outward from the city's center and encompass a total land area of 0.8 sq mi (2 km2). The population at the 2000 Census was 105 people.

Sharon was bustling back in the 1880s and 1890s, when thousands of visitors traveled here for the reputed healing powers of the Electric Health Resort which was established nearby. It was said that exposure to bedrock in a subterranean chamber provided electrical healing powers. The resort, which included a hotel, lake, and post office, eventually burned down.
