Town of Ashland

The Town of Ashland was built as a mineral springs resort on the railroad prior to the Civil War.  Known as the "Center of the Universe" for its central location in Virginia, Ashland enjoys a small college town atmosphere accommodating small business, biking, and walking, with easy access to a strong regional economy.  Goals for Ashland planning include a commitment to stable growth while preserving the historic district, close-knit residential neighborhoods, and a system of parks and trails.

PSG stays in contact with Ashland residents and leaders to ensure support of the graceful expansion and revitalization of this small town in the heart of Hanover County.

The 2010 Census population was 7,225; growth rate from 2000 not available.  Click here for a map of 2010 results (click on Ashland precinct).
