History

An old deed may name a county that no longer exists, or a boundary that has since moved.

Sharp County was created from Lawrence County on July 18, 1868. The county gained territory from Independence County in 1875 and exchanged or gained small areas with Izard and Randolph counties between 1877 and 1891.
