History
Ashley was laid out in 1888 when the Minneapolis, St. Paul and Sault Ste. Marie Railroad was extended to that point. The city was named for Ashley E. Morrow, a railroad man. A post office has been in operation at Ashley since 1888. The McIntosh County Courthouse was built in 1919. Some of the 1,200 Jews who immigrated to North Dakota from the Russian Empire settled under the Homestead Acts in and around Ashley from the 1880s to 1930s. A number of them were buried in the Ashley Jewish Homesteaders Cemetery, which was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 2015.
