"Six or seven years before the (Civil) War, a store was started here by Joseph Kimbrough and Charles Sheppard (Shepherd), and this was the first commencement of the growth of the town of which Kimbrough was the first resident. Throughout the war the place, which was composed of a store and blacksmith shop, was called "Kimbrough."
"Sometime after 1840 a post-office was established at the residence of William G. Summers, and called "Ash Grove." After the war it was removed to the town, and Ash Grove then took its name from the post-office." ~ A History of Greene County, Past and Present, 1915, Fairbanks & Tuck, Vol. 1, p. 208; History of Greene County, 1883, Holcombe, 626.
