The story

How Adamson came to be

From Wikipedia’s history of Adamson.

Read it all →

At the time of its founding, Adamson was located in Gaines County, a part of the Moshulatubbee District of the Choctaw Nation.

Adamson began as a coal-mining camp about the turn of the 20th century. Its population peaked at about 3,500 during World War I, when it had 15 operating mines. The Rock Island and Katy railroads both built spurs ito ship the coal. The Rock Island line was abandoned in 1902, while the Katy remained in service until 1950.
