History & geography

History

The Canadian National Railway arrived in this area in 1911, and a fourth-class CPR station was built in 1920. Ashern was named after A. S. Hern, a timekeeper of the firm that constructed the railway that served the Western Interlake. In 1919, the Ashern Presbyterian Church was constructed, later becoming the Ashern United Church in 1925. An addition to the building was made in the 1950s. A new school building was constructed in 1953, later replaced with the present-day Ashern Central School. The Ashern Primary School (also known as Ashern Elementary) would later be replaced with Ashern Early Years School. In 1967, Ashern became part of the Lakeshore School Division.
