Ashland is well-known in the state for its "welcome sign" that proclaims the city to be "The World Headquarters of Nice People." Ashland was designated a Tree City USA by the National Arbor Day Foundation. It was formerly known as Uniontown, but because of another city named Uniontown in Ohio, the city was compelled to adopt a new name. Ashland was recommended as a name by congressman Henry Clay, after the name of his ranch in Kentucky.
