From the middle of the 16th century, Adorf belonged to the Chemnitz office as an administrative village . Since the beginning of the 19th century Adorf was part of the Kingdom of Saxony , in which the Saxon rural community order of 1838 granted the place independence as a rural community. In the 19th century, stocking knitting was established in the Waldhufendorf , which is still strongly agricultural today , initially as a home industry and later with small factories. Adorf was now part of the Chemnitz District Administration , which until 1900 belonged to the Zwickau District Administration and then to the Chemnitz District Administration.
