Ashland Junction is an unincorporated community located in the town of Eileen, Bayfield County, Wisconsin, United States.
Ashland Junction was founded in 1883.[1] The community was named from its location at a rail junction outside of Ashland. This junction was between lines of the Omaha Road (later Chicago and North Western Railroad, or C&NW), and the Northern Pacific Railroad.[2] The right-of-way of the east-west lines are now used for a rail trail known as the Tri-County Corridor.
A post office called Ashland Junction was established in 1890, and remained in operation until it was discontinued in 1910.[3]
