Adams County was established by the state legislature in 1851 and named in honor of the second President of the United States, John Adams, or his son, the sixth President, John Quincy Adams. The county was finally organized and separated from Pottawattamie County on March 12, 1853. Its original size was later reduced by the creation of Montgomery and Union counties. The first county seat was Quincy. In 1872, it was moved to Corning.   On Line Data                   Cities Carbon Corning Lenox Nodaway Prescott Townships Carl Colony Douglas Grant Jasper Lincoln Mercer Nodaway Prescott Quincy Union Washington       Adjacent counties Cass County (northwest) Adair County (northeast) Union County (east) Taylor County (south) Montgomery County (west)   Webspace has been generously provided by Genealogy Villageand Access GenealogyThank You!   The information on Trails to the Past © Copyright may be used in personal family history research, with source citation.
