Welcome to Adairsville!  Our site is currently under construction.

Nestled in the Oothcalooga Valley, Adairsville was the first Georgia town to be listed, in its entirety, on the National Register of Historic Places. The town began as a small village named in honor of Chief John Adair, a Scottish settler who married a Cherokee Indian girl. The railroad, passing through the center of town, was central to its development.  The Civil War brought much action to Adairsville, most notably was the Great Locomotive Chase on April 12, 1862.  Each fall, the Great Locomotive Chase Festivial, a three-day celebration, is held in remembrance of the event, on the first weekend of each October.
