Sharon is located on Secondary State Route 79/3, locally known as Cabin Creek Road.

Until the 1980s, a rail spur ran from the CSX railroad tracks up a short hollow, serving a coal mine tipple.

The remnants of the tracks and rail bed can still be seen at present day along Paint Branch, however, no sign remains of the at-grade crossing of Cabin Creek Road or the trestle that crossed Cabin Creek.

As a result of the badly needed upgrade of the West Virginia Turnpike to Interstate standards, multiple homes occupying the adjacent land were bought by the state and demolished.

There are about 12 houses in the hollow and a church at the bottom to the left as soon as you cross the Cabin Creek bridge.
