Sir Adam Beck was born in Baden, Ontario on June 20, 1857. He was elected three times to the office of mayor of London, Ontario, and simultaneously served as a member of the Provincial Legislature (which is no longer permitted). He was knighted by King George V in 1914.

The Queenston Chippawa power station, which he helped to create, was renamed after him in 1950. A private school in London is also named after him.
