History: Early Election Precincts in Adair County By Mike Watson The County of Adair had five election precincts in June 1825. They were: Casey's Creek, Col. Shaw's, Kerns', East Fork and the Courthouse. Few specifics about these precincts and the locations of voting are to be found today. The few scraps we were able to unearth for the nineteenth century are as follows: Election precincts for 1822 were to be at Capt. John Bell's on East Fork of Little Barren River, and at Columbia. Casey Creek Precinct: Location of voting place was at the house of Robert Caskey until January 1827 when the General Assembly authorized the move to Samuel Bland's house. In December of the same year it was changed to Fleming Goode's and in January 1830 changed again to John Smith's. In the 1830s the precincts were: Columbia, Casey Creek and East Fork. By 1840 they were: Columbia, Neatsville and East Fork, specific locations not given. The voting locations in July 1855 were Columbia, Neatsville, White Oak, Harmony, Big Creek and East Fork. --Mike Watson, An Adair County, Kentucky, History, 2001.
