Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: SCY-SHA
SHARON , a borough of Mercer county,
Pennsylvania
 , U.S.A., on the Shenango river, about 70 M. by rail N.N.W. of Pittsburg. Pop. (1900) 8916, of whom 18o5 were foreign-born and 113 were negroes; (1910 U.S.
census
 ) 15,270. Sharon is served by the
Erie
 , the Lake Shore & Michigan Southern, and the
Pennsylvania
  (
Erie
  and Pittsburg division) railways. Sharon has an excellent public school
system
 , and the F. H. Buhl Club (1903) is a social and educational institution, named in honour of its founder, an iron manufacturer of the borough. The borough has blast furnaces and
rolling
 -mills; and iron and steel products, tin-
plate
  and terne-
plate
  are its
principal
  manufactures. The total value of factory products in 1905 was $4,776,914, being 26'9% more than in 1900. Sharon and
South
  Sharon (pop. by U.S.
census
  in 1910, 10,190), which was separately incorporated as a borough in 1901, form what is virtually a single industrial community. Sharon was first settled in 1795, but was only a small
village
  when a
movement
  for developing the coal-mines in the vicinity was begun in 1836. It was incorporated as a borough in 1841.
