Adams County, County in southwestern Iowa, United States
Adams County spans 425 square miles of agricultural land with gently rolling hills, scattered woodlands, and numerous small streams crossing its territory.
The Iowa State Legislature established Adams County in 1851, later organizing it as a separate administrative entity from Pottawattamie County in March 1853.
The county seat of Corning maintains several local traditions through its Historic Preservation Commission, which documents and shares stories of early settlers.
The county government provides essential services through elected officials, including property tax collection, vehicle registration, and geographic information system mapping.
Adams County maintains five elected supervisors for a population of 4,000 residents, creating a high ratio of local representatives to citizens.
