History
Residents of the young community applied for a United States Post Office to be established using the name “Pearl City.” Postal officials did not agree to their choice of names, doubtless because of the existence of a post office at Pearl in Woodward County, Oklahoma Territory. Federal officials were already anticipating the union of the “twin territories” into a single state, and postal officials did not want two post offices in the same state using such similar names. They substituted Ashland instead, and a post office opened at Ashland, Indian Territory on October 1, 1902. At the time of its founding, Ashland was located in Tobucksy County, Choctaw Nation.
