Sharon was first settled by the English in the mid seventeenth century, but it took over 100 years to become incorporated. In 1740, it became part of Stoughton and later in 1775 it was incorporated as Stoughtonham, named after the town it seceded from, only to have the name later changed to Sharon, named after the Sharon Plain in Israel.
Sharon is best known for being a suburb south of Boston, perhaps best known for its nature. Prior to European settlers Sharon was settled by natives, who used the fertile area for fishing and hunting. After Europeans settled the area, it was primarily an agrarian community and the cultivation of crops such as cranberries, strawberries and other fruit-bearing trees was common.
During Revolutionary times, it was known to produce much of the heavy artillery for soldier’s like cannons and cannon balls. The famous Deborah Sampson was also a resident of Sharon at this time. She is known for disguising herself as a male in order to see battle in the Revolutionary War. After the War, Sharon became a small industrial town. Some of the goods that were produced in town were boots, boxes, carriages, leather, lumber and various polishes. Today, the town of 17,000, is a bedroom community, as it lies just over 15 miles from Boston. CNN Money named Sharon as the best place to live in the United States in 2013.
Sharon is home to a large number of conservation and other protected land. In these lands are many trail systems ranging from the Moose Hill Wildlife Sanctuary, to Borderland State Park and other trails surrounding Lake Massapoag. Lake Massapoag is one of the more prominent summer spots where activities range from sailing and swimming and ice skating. It once drew many people to the area and served as a vacation spot.
Andre Tippett is best known for being an NFL Linebacker who spent his entire twelve year career playing for the New England Patriots. Born in Alabama, he would move to New Jersey where he would play football before going to the University of Iowa, where he became a star football player. The New England Patriots drafted him in the second round of the 1982 NFL Draft with the forty-first pick overall. Throughout his career, he would be selected to five Pro Bowls and was inducted to the NFL Hall of Fame in 2008.
Ty Law is known as one of the premier Cornerbacks of the 2000’s, during which he played for five teams, most notably, the New England Patriots. After being born and raised in the Greater Pittsburgh area, Law would attend Aliquippa High School, where he would star on both the basketball and football teams. Law was heavily recruited out of High School and eventually elected to attend the University of Michigan where he would receive All-American honors. Law was drafted twenty-third overall by the Patriots in the 1995 NFL Draft. He spent ten of his fifteen seasons with the Patriots becoming a five time Pro Bowler, two time All-Pro and a three time Super Bowl champion.
Arthur Vining Davis was born in Sharon in 1867, where he was also raised. After attending Roxbury Latin School, he would attend Amherst College, where he would graduate from in 1888. After graduating, Davis entered the aluminum manufacturing industry, which due to cost was a small field due to the high cost. After becoming the General Manager in 1892, he helped steer the company to success and in 1907 it became Aluminum Company of America (ALCOA). He later became the President and Chairman of the Board, a position that he held until the mid twentieth century. At the time of his death, Davis was worth $400 million.

Sharon Resident Calls American Alarm For Service After Another Security Company Disappoints
As is the case with many of the low-end wireless systems that are on the market today, this customer’s system was experiencing many false alarms, which prompted the customer to turn it off for extended periods of time. Furthermore, when we inspected the home, our integrated systems consultant found that the property was not fully covered-the existing system had major gaps, such as no protection on the basement windows close to the alarm panel.
After several detailed discussions with this customer, they decided to install a fully hard-wired American Alarm home security system. We made sure the entire home was completely protected-and because of our system’s superior quality, and the protocols for installation which require that every element be hardwired with soldered splices, this customer no longer worries about false alarms or the reliability of their system. That’s the definition of peace of mind for home security.
