Ashley straddles the Steuben–DeKalb county line, with most of its housing stock in DeKalb; its ZIP code and school district run across both counties. Steubenville, an old platted community near Fremont, is now a rural crossroads rather than a functioning town and is not treated separately from Fremont Township here.<\/p>\n
