History

At one time, the community was also known as Frog Level.^{[citation needed]}

In 1974, the community's local chapter of the Lions Club, with some aid from the Pennyrile Area Development District and Army soldiers from Fort Campbell, were involved in a project to establish the Sharon Grove Community Park on Mount Sharon Road. It was built on a 12-acre plot of land that included a natural cave.^[2]

Sharon Grove is located in the northeastern portion of Todd County just west of its border with Logan County. The community is located along Kentucky Route 106 about 8 miles (13 km) northeast of Elkton, and about 9 miles (14 km) southwest of Lewisburg.
