A SHLAND lies in the eastern part of the county, in lat. 43 43 , and long. 71° 41', bounded north and northeast by Holderness, south by New Hampton, in Belnap county, and west by Plymouth and Bridgewater. This is the smallest township in the county, having only about 3,853 acres of improved land, and was set off from the southwestern part of Holderness, and incorporated into a separate township, July 1, 1868, being given the name of Ashland, in honor of the home of Henry Clay.
The surface of the town is generally rough and broken, though so diversi- fied as to present some very charming scenery. Through its center, from north to south, extends a ridge of highland called Church hill, from which the land slopes east to Owl brook, a tributary of Squam river, and west to the Pemigewasset, which washes its western border. Little Squam lake, a hand- some sheet of water, extends into the township from Holderness, greatly enhancing the beauty of the scenery. Squam river, its outlet, flows a south- westerly direction, falling into the Pemigewasset, and affording, in its course, some excellent mill privileges. The soil is hard, but, when properly cultivated, produces good crops. The Boston & Lowell railroad crosses the southwestern section of the town.
In 1880 Ashland had a population of 969 souls. In 1885, the town had three school districts, four common schools, and four graded schools. Its five school houses were valued, including furniture, etc., at $15,125.00. There were 149 children attending school, seventeen of whom were pursuing the higher grades, taught during the year by one male and eight female teachers, the former at an average monthly salary of $48.00, and the female teachers at an average monthly salary of $24.57. The entire amount raised for school purposes during the year, was $1,708.30, while the expenditures were $1,724 .- 38, with H. C. Dearborn, superintendent.
ASHLAND is a thriving, brisk post village, located in the southwestern part of the town, on Squam river, and on the Boston & Lowell railroad. It has two churches (Baptist and Episcopal), one hotel, four dry good stores, a shoe- store, millinery store, grocery, etc., one hotel, a bank, public school, two woolen-mills, three paper-mills, leather-board mill, two glove factories, two tanneries, machine shop, blacksmith shop, two wagon shops, two saw-mills, and several other small mechanical shops. Aside from these manufactories, the village has about 200 dwellings, and is situated in the midst of wild, romantic and beautiful scenery.

with an aggregate deposit of $47,676.00. The bank was organized in 1872, with Nathaniel Batchelder, president, and J. F. Keyes, treasurer.
The Squam Lake woolen-mill was built by James Briggs & Bros., in 1840. They operated the mills about eight years, and from that time until Septem- ber 1, 1881, when the present proprietors leased it. The property changed hands several times, and for several years the mills were idle. The mills have 1,500 spindles and the capacity for manufacturing 150,000 yards of flan- nels and cloakings per year.
J. F. Draper & Co.'s glove factory was built by them in 1880, they having moved to Ashland from Plymouth, where they were engaged in the business a number of years. They employ 200 hands in the manufacture of buckskin and kid gloves.
The Ashland woolen-mills were built in 1880, by A. Scribner, who used them for manufacturing paper until 1883, when they were taken by the pres- ent firm, Carter & Rogers, and converted into woolen-mills. They have 720 spindles.
E. F. Bailey's leather-board mill .- Mr. Bailey came here from Lawrence, Mass., in the autumn of 1863, and purchased a paper-mill of Simeon L. Gor- don, and began the manufacture of straw-board. In 1868 he changed the manufacture to that of leather-board-the first manufactory of this kind established in the State. In January, 1870, his mill was burned, and in July following he built the present structure. He manufactures about one ton of leather-board per day.
Charles T. Wilder & Co.'s paper-mill was originally built by George Mitchell, about 1850, and subsequently re-built by the present firm. They also built mills known as No. 2 and No. 3, which were destroyed by fire in 1844, and upon whose site they have just built another large mill. The firm does an extensive business in the manufacture of Manila wrapping paper.
C. B. Fosdick's tannery, operated by H. D. Smith, has the capacity for tanning 2,000 deer skins per annum.
Shepard & Fletcher's machine shop is the only shop of the kind in the town, and has been in the possession of this firm about five years.
A. E. Harriman's leather board mill was built for a peg factory, about thirty-five years ago.
Ashland was so recently severed from Holderness, that the record of its settlement, etc., properly belongs to the sketch of its parent town, to which sketch, on a future page, we refer the reader.
