The population was 664 at the 2020 census. It is part of the Weirton–Steubenville metropolitan area. When the village was being established, Ohio General Assembly member John McLaughlin suggested to name it after Adena Mansion, then Governor Thomas Worthington's home and estate in Chillicothe, Ohio. A post office called Adena was established in 1855 with Peter Hixon as the first Postmaster, although there was no mail route yet at the time. After a mail route was established, John Bendell was appointed as the first acting Postmaster. The post office is still in operation.
