The City of Ashtabula is located on Lake Erie’s coastline about an hour between Cleveland, Ohio and Erie, Pennsylvania. We are proud of our City. Our name, Ashtabula, is the softening of an Algonquin Indian term originally pronounced “Hush-tah-buh-lah”, which signified our Ashtabula River as “River of many fish.” We invite you to explore our website and discover a small sampling of what Ashtabula has to offer.
