| Ashley
is a small village in northeastern Delaware County on State
Routes 42 and 229. Early in the 1840's the village was known
as Oxford, but in 1949 it was renamed Ashley after the gentleman
who then owned much of the town.
Ashley is an active community
with its own scouting groups, 4-H clubs, churches and a
lot of interest in youth development. The R.B. Powers Company,
manufacturers of awards and trophies, is the largest local
industry. With a population of 1,300, Ashley is known as
a warm, friendly and prosperous place to live. |
