Ashton, Ontario

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The tiny village of Ashton is located about 40km west of Ottawa, at the intersection of Ashton Station Road and Flewellyn Road. The village was originally part of Goulbourn Township, which was amalgimated into the City of Ottawa in 2001. It is home to approx. 200 residents. The headwaters of the Jock River, which runs through the heart of the community, are just to the west of the village. There is a general store, a pub, several churches and a community center. Unlike many communities surrounding the burgeoning city of Ottawa, Ashton has remained relatively unchanged for many years.
