Adams County, located in the great state of Illinois, was established on January 13, 1825, and named in honor of the sixth President of the United States, John Quincy Adams.

One of the most significant events in the history of Adams County was the Mormon settlement in the city of Nauvoo during the 1840s. Thousands of Mormons, led by their prophet Joseph Smith, settled in the region after being driven out of Missouri. They built a thriving community in Nauvoo, which became one of the largest cities in Illinois at that time. The Mormon presence in Adams County ended in 1846 when they were expelled from Nauvoo, leading to their westward migration known as the Mormon Trail.
