Welcome to Ashland

Welcome to Ashland!

The first Europeans to settle in what is now Ashland came in the mid-nineteenth century and grew the town into a successful logging center, peaking by the 1930s. While the logging has quieted down over the years, Ashland remains a beautiful wooded paradise to this day.
