Adams County Illinois
In 1825 the state of Illinois sent commissioners to the newly created County of Adams to locate a county seat. The commissioners drove a stake into the public square (John’s Square) and named the settlement Quincy in honor of the newly-elected U.S. President, John Quincy Adams. John's Square became known as Washington Park in 1857 and was the site of Quincy's Lincoln-Douglas debate the following year We're looking for people who share our dedication to putting data online and those who are interested in helping this project be successful. If you are interested in joining our group and becoming a state or county host, view our Volunteer Page for further information.
Hi my name is Debbie Gibson. I am your Adams County Illinois Host. I was born in Pike county, Mo., raised in Winfield, Lincoln county, Mo., and moved to Adams county when I was 15. I lived in Payson until I was about 18 and moved to Quincy. Have been here ever since. I love the history of this town. I hope to do a great job as your host.
