Welcome to Ashland, Kentucky!

Though still in its infancy, AshlandKY.com is the online community for not only Ashland but for all of Boyd and Greenup Counties in KY. We've filled the site exclusively with information and happenings that pertain to our area. Here you'll find news, weather, upcoming events, links to area business websites, special offers, coupons and more. It's all in one spot and it's free!

Even if you don’t subscribe to the newspaper it’s easy to keep up with local current events by clicking the “News” link. There you’ll find the headlines from today's “Daily Independent.” If you want to read more, select the story and go directly to the newspaper website.

If you’re wondering how the weather is going to impact your plans, click “Ashland” on the weather box at the top right corner of our home page to view Accuweather.com's area forecast for up to 15 days in advance!

Most visitors come here looking for “something to do.” That’s why we work to keep the Calendar filled with concerts, plays, health screenings, art exhibits, festival schedules and more. Scan “Upcoming Events” for happenings a day or two in advance or click any given day on the Calendar to see what’s scheduled then. You can even page forward to see what’s already being planned months ahead. If you know of something that needs to be added, please drop us an e-mail with that information. We'll be glad to let others know.

In the Forums section, under “Announcements & Notices” you will find information on events like high school or family reunions, road/bridge closings, clothing drives, yard sales and more. Soon we hope to have an active local geneaology forum, as well. You are welcome to submit your announcements too. It’s a great way to get the word out to the online community!

If you’re not from this area but you’re thinking of pay us a visit, you'll find the information you need here.  Click on the "Lodging” tab to see the list of Hotels and Motels in our area. Under “Attractions” you’ll see that we have many points of interest to help you plan your trip. And, of course, “Restaurants” is just that!  If you need more information, check out the “Links” where you’ll find your way to the websites of the City of Ashland, the Ashland Area Visitors & Convention Bureau, Paramount Arts Center and many others.
