Adam the First was the first large land grant in what is now Howard County. It was patented on October 1, 1687 to Adam Shipley, who came to Maryland from England in 1668. This site marks a section of the western boundary of the 500 acre grant. A Shipley family cemetery is located among the trees to the east.
