As the "City of Friends", Ashland is proud of its small town atmosphere and offers many features found in much larger areas. 

Incorporated in 1871, the City of Ashland is located in east central Alabama just minutes from the recreation areas of Mt. Cheaha and the Talladega National forest.

Ashland's community spirit is seen at all walks of life: from excellent public schools to a newly remodeled library, as well as a community hospital, nursing home and, senior center. Ashland supports a very active county-wide Arts League  and offers churches of many denominations.

Local industries include Tru-Wood Cabinets, Tyson Foods, and Wellborn Cabinets located just outside the city as well as the Honda plant located in nearby Lincoln.
