New Albany

New Albany is a city in Floyd County, Indiana, situated along the Ohio River and serving as the county seat. The city connects to surrounding areas through state highways and contains residential neighborhoods alongside commercial areas that make up its downtown.

The city was founded in 1813 and grew into a major settlement along the river. Over time, it became established as Floyd County's administrative center, shaping the development of the surrounding region.

Small businesses and family-owned shops form the backbone of daily life here, shaping how residents spend their time and where they gather. Walking through town, you notice how these local enterprises define the character of the place and how much the community depends on them.

City offices provide information and services for visitors seeking details about local government and community resources. Visiting during weekdays gives you better access to staff who can answer questions and point you toward what you want to see.

The city has developed the South Monon Freedom Trail and Ohio River Greenway, which offer residents and visitors pathways for walking and enjoying outdoor spaces. These newer projects quietly connect different parts of town while opening access to the riverfront that was previously less visited.
