Ashville is a village in Pickaway County, Ohio, United States. The population was 4,097 at the 2010 census. ==History== In 1812 two distilleries were built near (Ashville ) and were owned by William and Richard Staige (Stage). The land that is now Ashville was at that time primarily the property of Richard Staige. After many years he sold his distillery to Mahlon Ashbrook, who did a large business with his brother Absolom. He also built a grist mill on Walnut Creek about 1845 and owned a large store that was run by his sister Idy and her husband Daniel Kellerman. Kellerman was the first postmaster in Ashbrook (later Ashville). The Ashbrook's enterprises failed in 1855. From that time, until the construction of the Scioto Valley Railroad through Ashville and the advent of a depot in 1876, business was slow. Ashville was incorporated in 1882, with the first mayor being W. R. Julian. A historical museum, (Ohio's Small Town Museum ), is operated in the community.〔(Ashville Area Heritage Society )〕 The museum, established in 1975, claims to be home to America's oldest working traffic light, which directed traffic in downtown Ashville until the 1970s. This signal was designed by local resident Teddy Boor.〔(Neato Stuff At the Ashville Museum ), Ohio's Small Town Museum in Ashville.

The video depicts a surprising number of achievements and innovations, as well as connections to American and world history.〔(A New Film Sheds Light on Local Achievements )〕 The Puppeteers of America organization was (first incorporated in Ashville ) in 1961 and the Puppetry Journal was published by the Pickaway Publishing Company in Ashville. Ohio's oldest surviving (17-star U.S. flag ) representing Ohio's entry into the Union of States was found in an attic in a house on Long Street in Ashville. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Ashville, Ohio」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
