Definition: The word 'adairsville' comes from the American English word 'adair', which means "a place on a river." The term 'adairsville' refers to a town located in Adams County, Georgia. Adairsville was established as an incorporated settlement in 1856 and is named after Henry C. Adair, who served as president of the Georgia Agricultural College. The town's history dates back to the early days of the American South when agriculture played a significant role in the local economy. In fact, Adairsville was once known as "the Black Belt" because it was home to many slaves and former slaves who were forced to migrate south from their former homes on the plantation where they had been enslaved. Today, Adairsville is a small town located in the rolling hills of Adams County. The town's main attraction is its historic downtown area, which features restored buildings and historic signs. There are also several shops, restaurants, and entertainment venues within walking distance of the downtown.
