Community Description
Short Description: Callahan is 20 miles north of Jacksonville. The village of Sharon, first settled in the 1840s along the route of the Old Kings Highway, was renamed for Daniel Callahan, an Irish partner in the firm hired by the Florida Railroad in the 1850s to construct its new railroad. By the 1880s, the Savannah, Florida and Western Railroad intersected the route of the old Florida Railroad bringing as many as 16 trains a day in and out of Callahan.
