History of Albany

The area where Albany now sits was originally inhabited by the Kalapuya Native American tribes for over 10,000 years. In the 1840s and 1850s, settlers traveling along the Oregon Trail established homesteads in the Willamette Valley. Albany was platted in 1848 and incorporated as a city in 1864. In 1871, Albany became the county seat of Linn County. The city's early economy relied on agriculture, lumber, and manufacturing. Albany's historic Monteith Historic District preserves homes and buildings from Albany's founding era.
