Adair, or Adairville, was a Mormon settlement established in 1878 in what was then Apache County of Arizona Territory. It was located about three miles north-west of Show Low. This area became Navajo County on March 21, 1895. Arizona officially became a state February 14, 1912. Adair was founded by Wesley Adair and his brother Thomas Jefferson Adair Jr., and Thomas' wife Mary Vance. Wesley and Thomas are the sons of Thomas Jefferson Adair and Rebecca Brown. Wesley was a member of Company C of the Mormon Battalion. Mary Vance is the daughter of Adam Vance and Catherine Penrod. The Adair family built a home about one fourth of a mile from Show Low Creek. Soon, other families came and settled on the hills and in the valley. It was a beautiful county but had a limited water supply. The settlers cleared the ground and grew corn and sugar cane taller than a man. They also grew wheat, beans, and other vegetables. Many of the Adairs and other families left the area to move to Show Low and surrounding regions. Aaron Adair lived on the place for some years after that and was told "nobody but a fool would try to make a living there" (Barnes, 1988, p. 9) The settlement was renamed "Fools Hollow" and is now the site of Fools Hollow Lake. All traces of Adair are gone now except for the cemetery. The cemetery is in Show Low, Arizona 85901. It is located about one mile east of Fools Hollow Lake, at the end of 22nd Avenue and Old Linden Road. Directions to the Adair Cemetery are head North on 22nd Ave off of Old Linden Road in Show Low. Go to the last driveway and turn right. Proceed on that driveway until reaching the cemetery. The cemetery is about 100 meters off of 22nd Avenue.
