History
In 1812 two distilleries were built near Ashville and were owned by William and Richard Staige (Stage). The land that is now Ashville was at that time primarily the property of Richard Staige. In 1837, he sold his distillery to Mahlon Ashbrook, who did a large business with his brother Absolom. By 1845, Mahlon also built a grist mill on Walnut Creek and owned a large store that was run by his sister Iva "Ivy" and her husband Daniel Kellerman. Kellerman was the first postmaster in Ashbrook (later Ashville). The same year, Mahlon helped laid out the town with the building of 25 new houses. The brothers then invested in scow canal packet boats to move produce and merchandise. In 1853, Mahlon was voted among others to sit on the Railroad Committee for the speedy construction for rails to cover Ross, Pickaway, and Franklin Counties.
The route of the railroad (like the canals before it) had a great effect on the success of the development of the area. Ashbrook manufactured barrels for the mill and distillery, and also had some outside trade in that line. Being the owner of various packets on the canal, he was said to do the largest business of anyone in the county.
