You’ll Like Ashby!
From our thriving business district to our award-winning pre-K through 12 school to our extraordinary
fire, ambulance and police department, Ashby offers a great place to visit and an even better place to live.
A number of community activities happen throughout
the year including an amazing Memorial Day Program; the annual Coots Unlimited Banquet in May; Ashby
Appreciation Days in July; and the Farmers Market and Community Festival every Thursday in August.
A large number of lakes are within a 15 mile radius of Ashby with Pelican Lake, just south of Ashby, as one of
the largest with some great recreational and fishing opportunities. The Central Lakes Trail, a 55-mile
paved hiking/biking/snowmobiling trail runs through the heart of the City.
You’ll find a beautiful residential development on the eastern edge of the City called Country View Estates.
With some great buying incentives, this is an ideal location to build a home.
You’ll find a number of larger communities within a half hour drive of Ashby making our location, your
ultimate bedroom community.
Interested in what we have to offer? Give a call @ 218-747-2876 or check out the web-site:

"I have lived in Ashby for 86 years. My wife and I
feel that the community has all of the necessary
services that we need: access to hospitals, excellent
fire department and ambulance services, as well as
many dedicated local EMT's. For the older
generation, these are very important. Our thriving
community offers a wonderful school, is a lake
country, close to I-94, and has golf, fishing, and
hunting all around. It is also 30 minutes from
Fergus Falls or Alexandria, and 90 minutes from
Fargo or St. Cloud." ~Robert & Elaine Anderson
"The first thing we realized when moving to Ashby, is the
people are genuinely good people! We have amazing
neighbors all around us. Everyone is so friendly and will-
ing to help out. We like living in a community that is so
supportive. We plan to raise a family in the future and
heard so many great things about the education at the
Ashby School." ~Aaron & Amanda Duenow
We both grew up in small, close-knit communities, knowing the ability to provide the same opportunity for our children was of utmost importance. As a young family, education and safety are top priorities. The Ashby School District is second to none and the community boasts an extraordinary ambulance service and fire department, as well as its own law enforcement. To top it all off, Ashby’s location near I-94 gave us the opportunity to seek employment from Fergus Falls to Alexandria. We could not have chosen a better community to raise our family! - Dallas and Alexis Rylander
