History
The Adams County Highway Department
was created by State Statute in 1913.
From 1913 to 1939 the Highway Department operated from a one- room shed located in the area of 24th and State Street in Quincy.
In 1939 the Department moved to a larger facility at the corner of 36th and Broadway Street.
On December 23, 1985, the Adams County Board sold at public
auction the County Highway Department property located at
36th and Broadway for $821,000.
The current facility was constructed on property owned by
Adams County on N 54th St for $420,000. Construction started
on May 27, 1986, and the Highway Department moved in on
October 30,1986.
