Adamstown (Pennsylvania Dutch: Adamschteddel) is a borough that is located in Lancaster County and Berks County in the U.S. state of Pennsylvania.
Adamstown was initially founded on July 4, 1761, by William Addams on the site of a former village of Native Americans, and Addams named the community Addamsburry. The community was incorporated as a borough on April 2, 1850, following the passage of a bill by the Pennsylvania General Assembly that was introduced by Representative Joseph Konigmacher the previous month.
In 1855, a new stage coach route was established from Lancaster to Reading, which included stops in the communities of Adamstown, Reamstown, Ephrata, New Berlin, and Oregon. The fare from Reading to Adamstown was fifty cents.
The Kagerise Store and House was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1988.
The town promotes itself as the antiques capital of the United States because it attracts many antiques dealers and collectors. Adamstown is home to the Stoudt's Brewery, Pennsylvania's first microbrewery, which was established here in 1987. The town is also home to the US's oldest hat manufacturer, the Bollman Hat Company, which was established in 1868.
According to the U.S. Census Bureau, the borough has a total area of 1.4 square miles (3.6 km²), all land.
