Albert Lea, Recreational city in Southern Minnesota, United States
Albert Lea extends across 14.42 square miles, encompassing multiple lakes including Fountain Lake, Pickerel Lake, and Albert Lea Lake within Freeborn County.
The settlement gained its name from Lieutenant Albert Miller Lea, who conducted a territorial survey of the region in 1835 before the city's establishment in 1855.
The Marion Ross Performing Arts Center in downtown Albert Lea presents theatrical productions, musical performances, and community events throughout the calendar year.
The city connects with major transportation routes at the intersection of Interstate 35 and Interstate 90, positioned 90 miles south of Minneapolis.
Albert Lea earned its position as county seat through a horse race competition against the now-extinct town of Itasca in 1859.
