Adamsville is a small, unincorporated community located in Ontwa Township within Cass County in the U.S. state of Michigan. An "unincorporated community" means it's a group of homes and businesses that isn't officially a city or town with its own local government. It's like a neighborhood that's part of a larger township.
A Glimpse into Adamsville's Past
Adamsville has a history stretching back to the early 1800s. It was first established in 1832. Back then, it had a slightly different name: Adamsport.
How Adamsville Grew
Just a few years later, in 1838, Adamsport joined up with another nearby settlement called Sage's Mill. This other community was located right across a creek. When these two places merged, they became the Adamsville we know today.
