About Ashland, Virginia
Ashland is a town in Hanover County, Virginia, United States, located 16 miles (26 km) north of Richmond along Interstate 95 and U.S. Route 1. The Richmond, Fredericksburg and Potomac Railroad initially developed the town in the 1840s as a mineral springs resort with a racetrack. The town was named "Ashland" after native son Henry Clay's estate in Kentucky and was officially incorporated on February 19, 1858. Sarah Elmira Royster Shelton lived in Ashland on S. Center Street in 1870. She claimed to be the "lost Lenore" of Edgar Allen Poe's works. The house still stands on Center St. in private ownership. (Wikipedia)
