== Fun facts ==
* Politically, Adams County used to be a swing county in elections, but is becoming overwhelmingly Republican.
* Although it's the state least populous county, Adams isn't completely devoid of recreation. Lake Icaria to the north of Corning was built as part of the Watershed Protection and Flood Prevention Act and was completed in 1978. The lake has a beach, marina, playgrounds, picnic shelters, cabins, primitive campground, non-primitive campground, and numerous nature trails. Lake Icaria offers great fishing with largemouth bass, bluegill, crappie, channel catfish, perch, walleye, and wiper. Boating and camping are very popular, bringing in visitors from all over Iowa, Missouri, and Nebraska.
* Corning is perhaps best known as the birthplace of Johnny Carson.
* Corning hosts Lazy Days of Summer on the last weekend in July. The weekend includes a BBQ competition, street dance, Doctors' Dash race, and other events around the community.
