Albany Hill, 373-foot summit in Albany, California, US.
Albany Hill rises along the eastern shore of San Francisco Bay, composed of Jurassic sandstone carried by the Pacific Plate to North America.
The Fages expedition documented this hill as El Cerrito in 1772, later renamed Cerrito de San Antonio by the Peralta family of Rancho San Antonio.
Archaeological evidence reveals the north side served as a settlement for Chochenyo Ohlone people, with mortar stones and shell midden remnants.
The hill features numerous hiking trails of varying difficulty levels, with parking areas and designated spots for picnicking near the summit.
Giant Powder Company planted eucalyptus trees around the hill to muffle explosions from their dynamite manufacturing operations in the late 1800s.
