Sharon Center is a small, quiet place in Johnson County, Iowa, United States. It's what we call an unincorporated community. This means it's not officially a city or town with its own local government. Instead, it's part of the larger county area. You can find Sharon Center in the southwestern part of Johnson County, about 9.3 miles (or 15 kilometers) southwest of a bigger city called Iowa City. It's located right where two county roads, F62 and W62, meet.

Sharon Center has been around for a long time! It was first settled and established in the 1800s. Back in 1902, over a hundred years ago, the community was quite small, with only 27 people living there. This shows that Sharon Center has always been a cozy, close-knit place.
