Adairsville was incorporated in 1854 and named for Chief John Adair, a Scottish settler. A historic community nestled in the Oothcalooga Valley, Adairsville was the first Georgia town to be listed in its entirety on the National Register of Historic Places. Today, many of pre-Civil War homes and churches stand alongside elegant Victorian structures in the city’s spectacular 170-acre historic district. The streets are also brimming with inviting antique shops, boutiques, and fine restaurants. Popular area attractions include the Indian Ridge Golf Club, The Prime Outlets of Calhoun, and the luxurious Barnsley Inn & Golf at Barnsley Gardens, a gracious 1840’s estate now offering cottages, tennis, golf, and spa facilities.
