Adrian was founded in 1826 by Addison Comstock and was named Logan. In an interesting twist the name changed to Adrian, perhaps named after Hadrian The Roman Emperor? The first operating railroad in Michigan was a horse-drawn train running between Adrian and Toledo in 1836.
Adrian is approximately 30 miles southwest of Ann Arbor, and 30 miles (48 km) northwest of Toledo, Ohio.
Evangelical and Hicksite Quakers in Southeast Michigan founded the first congregation of Quakers in Michigan in 1831. They also created a network of Underground Railroad stations in the Raisin River Valley. Daniel Smith was the first leader of the Raisin Valley Friends Meeting House. His daughter, Laura Smith Haviland became one of the most prominent equal rights activists and Underground Railroad operators in the nation.[9] Elizabeth Margaret Chandler established the Logan Female Anti-Slavery Society in October 1832. Chandler’s society preceded the Female Anti-Slavery Society in Philadelphia and the Michigan statewide organization.[9]
The town is approximately 15 miles (24 km) southeast of the Irish Hills area of Michigan, an area known for its many lakes and rolling hills, and home to the Irish Famine Memorial and Michigan International Speedway. Many town residents take advantage of this area for boating and recreation. Devils Lake, Round Lake, Posey Lake and Wamplers Lake are popular weekend destinations within a few miles.
