Sharon is a town in Schoharie County, New York, United States.

It was called "New Dorlach" from a location in Germany known to the early settlers while still in Otsego County.

In 1781 during the American Revolution, the Battle of Sharon was fought in the town between small contingents of colonial forces and Tories.

[4] The opening of the Erie Canal in 1825 reduced road traffic on a major east-west turnpike through the town, leading to the decline of several early communities.

New York State Route 10, a north-south highway, intersects US-20 in Sharon Springs.

New York State Route 145 has its northern terminus at US-20 in Sharon hamlet.
