Ashton, Maryland
|
Ashton is a community in Montgomery County, Maryland. The commercial center of Ashton lies at the junction of Route 108 (Ashton Road) and New Hampshire Avenue. A new shopping center is planed to begin construction September 2005 and completed by September 2006 and anchored by a Harris Teeter grocery store. This will be the largest and most ambitious commercial development in Ashtons history and could soon radically change the nature of "downtown Ashton".
The United States Census Bureau combines Ashton with the nearby community of Sandy Spring to form the Census-Designated Place of Ashton-Sandy Spring, and all census data are tabulated for this combined entity.
