Adrian Community Profile

Historians speculate Adrian actually got its start on the east side of the Snake River, but moved across the water when a rumor was circulated the Oregon Short Line Railroad would follow the river to the west bank. At that time, Reuben McCreary platted a town site on 73 acres, which he dubbed "Riverside." The Oregon Short Line Railroad obtained a right-of-way from McCreary in 1911, and in 1914, he changed the town sites name, giving it the name of his birthplace, Adrian, Illinois.
