Albany, County seat in Willamette Valley, Oregon, United States.
Albany extends across Linn County and Benton County at an elevation of 60 meters, featuring numerous parks and waterways along the Willamette River.
The settlement, established in 1846 by pioneers from the eastern United States, was named after Albany, New York, becoming a center for agriculture and lumber.
The city maintains multiple districts with 19th-century architecture, including Victorian mansions, Craftsman homes, and commercial buildings that display local construction methods.
Albany connects to major Oregon cities through Interstate 5 and Highway 20, while the Amtrak station provides regular rail service to Seattle and Portland.
