Albany adalah sebuah kota di wilayah negara bagian Georgia dan ibu kota pemerintahanan Dougherty County, Amerika Serikat . Letaknya di barat daya Georgia,[ 4] dan merupakan kota utama pada Albany, Georgia metropolitan area. Jumlah penduduknya 77.434 jiwa menurut Sensus Amerika Serikat 2010, menjadikannya kota terbesar kedelapan di Georgia.[ 1]
Area kota Albany sekarang dulunya dihuni oleh Creek Indians, yang menyebut tempat itu Thronateeska berdasarkan kata "flint" karena penemuan bahan mineral flint di dekat sungai.[ 5] Orang Creek menggunakan flintstone ini untuk membuat peralatan dan senjata misalnya kepala anak panah.
Permukiman orang kulit putih dimulai oleh Nelson Tift, seorang pengusaha dari Connecticut , yang menguasai tanah sepanjang Sungai Flint pada bulan Oktober 1836 setelah pengusiran orang Indian. Orang Creek dipaksa untuk pindah ke Indian Territory di sebelah barat sungai Mississippi . Tift menamai kota barunya "Albany" seperti ibu kota negara bagian New York ; keduanya sama-sama terletak di hulu sungai-sungai yang dapat dilayari. Alexander Shotwell membuat tata kota pada tahun 1836. Tempat itu di-inkorporasi sebagai kota berdasarkan peraturan General Assembly of Georgia pada tanggal 27 Desember 1838.[ 6]
