Ashville is a locality in South Australia along the Princes Highway between Tailem Bend and Meningie.
The locality is named after George Ash, who was a member of the South Australian Legislative Assembly in the 1890s and a business partner of Charles Cameron Kingston.[2]
In 1913, the district population was 80 people.[3]
A school at Ashville opened in 1895 and closed in 1959.[4] A school hall built of stone opened in December 1918 to serve the purposes of "...the education of the children, a place of meeting and wholesome recreation for the young people, and a place of worship" at a cost of £600.[5] It benefited the people of Ashville, Poltalloch and Albert Hill. The debt was still being paid off in 1920.[6]
The Ashville Memorial Hall[7] was "erected in memory of those who served".[8] An appeal for funds following World War II included a gala country fair in 1949 at Poltalloch.[9] The building now houses an art gallery and antique shop.[10]
