There’s an Ada in Oklahoma, too. Ada (or Adah) was one of the two wives of Lamech, the Bible’s first recorded polygamist. The second wife was Zillah.

So this guy Lamech knew polygamy from A to Z. Right?

Yep, but Ada, OK is about three times the size of Ada, OH.. and probably more people have heard of Ada, OK than have of Ida, MI and Ada, OH combined... ;-)

Hmmm... I mentioned Michigan. Do I need to ping cripplecreek? Wonder if he's ever been to Ida... ;-)

Ada in Oregon, too. On what we call the backside of Siltcoos Lake and smack-dab in the middle of my old stomping grounds. Consists of a fishing resort and a county park. When I picture where I want to retire, it is just such a place (and in actuality it won't likely be far from there at all).

One of few places named for a person's first name, and also palindromic. For what its worth.
