The Williams family began hosting picnics in 1850 at a small grove near Mechanicsburg, Pennsylvania.Within a few years, the grove was developed into a park. In 1873, the Cumberland Valley Railroad, which operated the newly constructed Dillsburg and Mechanicsburg Railroad, leased the grove from the Williams family, planning to build it into a resort destination.
In 1928, the grove was sold to Roy Richwine, who developed it into a full amusement park and opened Williams Grove Speedway in 1939. In 1963, Ashcombe Farm & Greenhouses opened on the eastern end of the village. On May 22, 1989, two men who lived at the Williams Grove Mobile Home Park tossed illegal fireworks onto the roof of Ashcombe's.
