The county history of 1858 has no passage naming this settlement, which was common for the smaller places. Its township is covered in full.

The federal wildfire occurrence database lists 1 fire within 5 miles of Sharp (historical) between 2010 and 2010, burning about 1 acres in total. None started naturally. None was recorded as arson. Distance is straight-line from the map coordinates, so a fire counted here may appear on a neighbouring settlement's page as well.

The most recent of them, most recent first, with the day each was reported and the service that recorded it.

Settlements close enough to share some of these fires:

• Beckley Addition
• Bixford Green
• Blacklick Estates
• Brice Meadows
• Bright (historical)
• Chelsea Glen

Every fire recorded in Franklin County

Museums hold 7,790 specimens collected within 10 miles of Sharp (historical) between 1814 and 1975: 5,862 Animalia, 1,256 Fungi, 525 Plantae, 116 Chromista, 30 Unrecorded, 1 Protozoa. 12 distinct Species records are shown. Collected by 19 V 1938 in original publication, Knull, =, ? and others. Each is a physical object with a catalogue number, and each entry opens the museum's record. This is what was collected and kept, not a survey of what lives here - nothing can be concluded from a species being absent.
