History

Adairville was settled in the late 18th century, and was originally known as Dromgooles' Station. When a town was platted in 1818, its name was changed to "Adairsville" in honor the prominent Kentucky politician. The city was incorporated in 1833. The "s" had been dropped from the name by 1881.[5]

On February 24, 2018, a possible tornado killed an elderly woman, 79, on Dot Road in Adairville. [6]
