The town of Sharon is located in Western Oklahoma on Highway 34, about 12 miles south of Woodward. The town is small in size (1/10 of a mile square) and in population (144). This is an agricultural community, dealing primarily in wheat, poultry and livestock.

A post office was established here on June 12, 1885, but settlement wasn't officially opened until the Cherokee Outlet opening in 1893. The town was first named Hackberry but the name was later changed to Sharon, after one of two families who owned the town site.

The post office is a tan brick building with a gabled roof, located at 114 Main Street. The counter is open Mon-Fri from noon to 4:00, and on Saturday from 10:00-12:00. The lobby and post office box access is available 24 hours Mon-Sat.

Visit Instructions:
To post a log to an existing U.S. Post Office waymark, you will need to post a picture of the front of the building, with the name of the post office in the background if that is possible.

A description of your Post Office is required, such as when it was built, history, outstanding or unique features, population of the city or town, just do a quick internet search and find an interesting bit of information about the city or town and add it to the long description, to make it more interesting. Even just adding in the population of the area can give others an idea of how many people this post office serves. This description should be at least three sentences.

If your Post Office has any unusual or unique features that you feel others would enjoy viewing, additional pictures are always welcome.
Including your gps device in the picture is not necessary, but wouldn't be cause for disapproval, as long as all other details of your log are acceptable.
