The village of Adams was platted on January 30, 1868,<ref>{{cite book|last=Upham|first=Warren|title=Minnesota Geographic Names: Their Origin and Historic Significance|url=https://archive.org/details/minnesotageogra00uphagoog|year=1920|publisher=Minnesota Historical Society|page=[https://archive.org/details/minnesotageogra00uphagoog/page/n378 359]}}</ref> by [[SS Selah Chamberlain#Selah Chamberlain|Selah Chamberlain]]. A two-room [[Public school (government funded)|public school]] was built in 1869 and was later expanded to four rooms. The village was officially [[Incorporation (municipal government)|incorporated]] on March 2, 1887. A [[water supply|water works]] system was installed in the summer of 1897. A [[volunteer fire department]] was established as Adams Hose Co. No. 1 in 1898. A [[sewage system]] was installed in 1902. A [[Catholic school]] was built in 1903 and roughly half of the public school [[student]]s started attending there, greatly relieving overcrowding. The sewage system was updated in 1958. The town is in the Southland school district (which includes [[Southland High School]]), and is home to the varsity fields for the teams.
