Asaph Whittlesey (May 18, 1826 – December 15, 1879)〔Burnham, Guy M. 1930. ''The Lake Superior Country in History and Story''. Ashland: Ashland Daily Press, p. 210.〕〔 〕 was the first Wisconsin state legislator from the Lake Superior region. In 1854, he settled the city of Ashland, Wisconsin.〔(Lake Superior South Shore Visitor Site )〕 ==Early years of Ashland== In 1854, Asaph left La Pointe in a rowboat, along with his companion, George Kilborn. Arriving at the bottom of Chequamegon Bay, they settled the area that is now the west side of Ashland. As other pioneers and lumbermen began to arrive, Asaph petitioned the government to name the community Ashland. However, at the time this name was already taken, and it was not until the other community named Ashland became defunct that the name Ashland was granted to Whittlesey’s settlement.〔
