The Ashley Post Office was established in the center of Ashley Town on December 27, 1878, when about 300 settlers lived in Ashley Valley. Wilbur Carlton Britt and Finley Britt constructed the building with logs from nearby mountains, wooden pegs, and square nails. It had a dirt roof, wide board floors, and cracks between the logs filled with mud. A log partition separated the post office from a grocery store. Wilbur Britt was appointed first postmaster on April 16, 1879. The Ashley Post Office is also on the Utah Register of Historic Places.
