History of Adrian, Michigan

This cozy little town was founded in 1826 by Addison Comstock. He was the promoter of the Erie & Kalamzaoo Railroad believe it or not. The city was renamed by this gentleman’s wife and she did so after the Roman Emperor Hadrian. This was where the first successful wire fence was invented, and was world renowned as the fence capital for centuries. Adrian was also the birthing ground of one of the first invented automobiles, the Lion. The city also harbored two other major automobile manufacturers in the early 1900’s, but never became the industrial power that it sought to be.
