Location

Adams County is located in West-Central Illinois on the most western point of Illinois on the Mississippi River. Quincy is the largest city in Adams County and has been known as the Gem City. It is often attributed to the fact that it shines like a gem when one approaches it from the Missouri bottom lands across the Mississippi River. In Quincy, Maine Street is a living architectural museum showing the history of the community in the prevailing styles of architecture as the city spread to the east. Roughly six percent of Adams County residents are under the age of five. Quincy is ranked as number six in the most affordable places to live in Illinois and it also has a large marina that is one of the largest natural bays on the Mississippi. The combination of a large city with many attractions along with the rural countryside makes Adams County a great place for families with young children.
