History
Ashland Junction was founded in 1883.[2] The community was named from its location at a rail junction outside of Ashland.[2] This junction was between lines of the Omaha Road (later Chicago and North Western Railroad, or C&NW), and the Northern Pacific Railroad.[3] The right-of-way of the east-west lines are now used for a rail trail known as the Tri-County Corridor.
A post office called Ashland Junction was established in 1890, and remained in operation until it was discontinued in 1910.[4]
