History
A copy of the original land purchase by Addison Comstock for what would become the City of Adrian, dated 10 May 1826
Adrian was founded on June 18, 1826 by Addison Comstock. The original name for the village was Logan, but was changed soon after to Adrian, perhaps in reference to the Roman emperor Hadrian.[5][6] The first operating railroad in Michigan was a horse-drawn train running between Adrian and Toledo in 1836.[7] Adrian grew quickly, with the sixth largest population in the state when Michigan was admitted to the Union in 1837, and the third largest population in the state by 1860.[8] Adrian was incorporated as a village on March 28, 1836, then as a city on January 31, 1853.
