Greetings from the City of Albany and myself. It is my pleasure to continue serving you as mayor.
Road. The council will review bids and decide which and when these roads will be repaired. Property owners will be notified as to when their street would be done.
We have some new and exciting changes taking place this year. First, Tom Schneider, our longtime city administrator has officially retired after over 36 years of dedicated service. Gary Winkels, another longterm, dedicated city employee, fireman and former fire chief has been hired to fill the administrator position. Tom has been and will continue to assist Gary as he learns and adjusts to his new position. We will all miss Tom but are confident that Gary, Heather Cruz and Molly Hoppe, our administative assistants, will continue to take great care of our city. Replacing Gary in public works is Jeff Kociemba. Jeff brings great experience and background to this position and he, along with Joe Mergen and Kurt Beuning will continue to make Albany’s public works run smoothly. Welcome Jeff!

The City of Albany was incorporated in 1890, but not without a struggle. The first petition to incorporate, signed by 33 residents of the proposed area of incorporation, was presented to the Stearns County Board of Commissioners Nov. 30, 1888. The county board issued a notice calling for an election on the issue at the District 59 schoolhouse the following January.
The Great Northern and Soo Line railroads once bounded the city but have since been removed and the right of way now is utilized for pedestrian (hiking/biking) travel. One of the lines running from Avon through Albany to Sauk Centre is now a paved bike, hike and snowmobile trail called the Lake Wobegon Trail. The water plant was installed in 1902 and electricity in 1909. Beautiful Pine and Pelican lakes are about 4 miles northeast of Albany.
It was not an accident that the commercial development on Railroad Avenue (the main street) was almost confined to one side of the street. The railroad designed it that way, the objective always being to receive revenue from people who used the rails. The land within the 300-foot railroad right of way was not for sale, only for lease. Businesses allowed to lease the land from the railroad were those who shipped by rail — livestock, grain, general merchandise, farm implements, automobiles and so on. Retail merchants and service businesses hesitated to build on the railroad right of way with only a 30-day lease, so they built on the north side of Railroad Avenue.
John Schwinghammer Jr. laid the first claim in Two Rivers Settlement. The Obermiller and Platz families followed one year later. A halfway house was in Albany during the mid-1860s to accommodate pioneer travelers and traders on the Red River Trail. Seven Dolors parish was organized and a log church was built in 1868. This church also served as a school. Isador Obermiller served as first postmaster in 1870 with the coming of the Great Northern Railroad north of Albany. The settlement was relocated in 1872 and named Albany.
A monument was erected on County Road 54, a 1/2 mile east of Albany, in 1982 by the Stearns County Historical Society.
