Welcome to Adamsville

Adamsville grew up around the railroad. In 1889 resident William Adams donated land for a right of way and depot, and the community was named in his honor. A large coal seam discovered nearby in 1890 made Adamsville something of a boom town, and the city reincorporated in 1953.

Today the city serves its residents from City Hall on Gray Avenue. Use the links on this site to find the calendar, request a city service, or apply for a yard sale permit.
