The name originates from the Etruscan city of Atria or (Adria) that also gave its name at a much earlier period to the Adriatic Sea.
Adriatica McKinney is a housing development in Stonebridge Ranch, McKinney, Texas nearing completion.
Adriatica takes its inspiration from the Croatian fishing village of Supetar on the island of Brač.
On 1 July 1885 its network was taken over by the Rete Mediterranea (Mediterranean Network) and the Rete Adriatica (Adriatic Network), with the coastal line from La Spezia to Pisa, Rome and Naples and the line from Pisa to Florence via Empoli going to the Rete Mediterranea and the lines from Rome to Florence and Ancona going to the Rete Adriatica.
Slobodna Dalmacija daily recently reported that a housing development called Adriatica is being built in McKinney, Texas, USA, as a partial faithful replica of Supetar.
