Adair

Adair has served as a railroad town in western Iowa since the 1870s. Set amid the gently rolling farmland of the state’s interior, it developed along the route of the Rock Island Railroad and remains close to Interstate 80, a major cross-country corridor. Adair is closely associated with the 1873 train robbery attributed to Jesse James and his gang, an event often described as the first successful train robbery west of the Mississippi River. The town’s small-scale streets and agricultural surroundings reflect a quieter side of Iowa beyond its larger cities. See how Adair fits into western Iowa by browsing webcams nearby.
