Guide to Adams Minnesota

Adams is a city in Adams Township, Mower County, Minnesota. According to the United States Census Bureau, the city has a total area of 1.01 square miles (2.62 km2), all of it land. The elevation is 1,286 feet above sea level.

The village of Adams was platted on January 30, 1868 by Selah Chamberlain. A two-room public school was built in 1869 and was later expanded to four rooms. The village was officially incorporated on March 2, 1887. A water works system was installed in the summer of 1897. A volunteer fire department was established as Adams Hose Co. No. 1 in 1898. A sewage system was installed in 1902. A Catholic school was built in 1903 and roughly half of the public school students started attending there, greatly relieving overcrowding. The sewage system was updated in 1958. The town is in the Southland school district (which includes Southland High School), and is home to the varsity fields for the teams.

ADAMS Township was organized in May 1858. Its city of the same name in section 11 was platted by Selah Chamberlain on January 30, 1868, and was incorporated as a village February 17, 1887. This name is borne by counties in nine states of the Union and by villages and townships in 14 states, mostly in honor of John Adams, the second president of the United States, 1797-1801, and his son, John Quincy Adams, the sixth president, 1825-29. The first postal service was provided in 1859 from the farm home of John Ingens; the post office was established in 1861 with Harold M. F. Ingens, postmaster; it had a station of the Chicago, Milwaukee, St. Paul and Pacific Railroad.
