Did you know that Adamsville, Atlanta, was once called “Lick Skillet?” This little farming village, nestled on Atlanta’s west side, is a testament to history’s twists and turns. In the early 1800s, the land was known as “Lick Skillet.” The name supposedly stems from a local iron pan, used to cook over a wood fire, where people would come to gather and feast. Then, in 1870, when a Masonic lodge was founded by George W. Adams, the name shifted to Adamsville. Today, you can find Adamsville at the intersection of Interstate 20 and Interstate 285 — a busy thoroughfare through Atlanta’s vibrant history.
