City of Ashland
Ashland, shown on the Talladega County 1860 census as the COURT HILL voting precinct, was first known as "Center Point" because of its central location between the Talladega and Wedowee judicial centers.
In 1867, the name was changed to Ashland in honor of Henry Clay's "Ashland Plantation" located in Lexington, Kentucky. About 1900, Ashland was chosen as the county seat and the site of the courthouse and the governing bodies of Clay County.
Located in the beautiful mountainous Piedmont Plateau, Ashland's elevation of 1,130 feet above sea level, is the highest of any incorporated municipality in the state.
