The Sharon plain ({{Lang-he-n|השרון}} HaSharon) is the central section of the Coastal Plain of Israel.

The Plain lies between the Mediterranean Sea to the west and the Samarian Hills, {{convert|15|km|mi|abbr=on}} to the east. It stretches from Nahal Taninim, a stream marking the southern end of Mount Carmel in the north, to the Yarkon River in the south, at the northern limit of Tel Aviv, over a total of about {{convert|90|km|mi|abbr=on}}. Parts of the Plain are included in the Central, and Tel Aviv Districts of Israel.

Hebrew Bible

The Plain of Sharon is mentioned in the Bible (1 Chronicles 5:16, 27:29; Isaiah 33:9, 35:2, 65:10), including the famous reference to the enigmatic "Rose of Sharon" (Song of Solomon 2:1).

Modern history

Historically, while some parts of the Sharon plain were very fertile, much of it was swampy and malarial, a condition exacerbated by massive Ottoman deforestation. Zionist immigrants arrived in the early 20th century, drained much of the swampy land, and populated the region with many settlements.[1] In 2008, it was the most densely populated region of Israel.[2]
