Albany (/ˈælbəni/ AL-bə-nee) is the county seat of Linn County,[11] Oregon, and is the 11th most populous city in the state.[12] Albany is located in the Willamette Valley at the confluence of the Calapooia River and the Willamette River in both Linn and Benton counties, just east of Corvallis and south of Salem. It is predominantly a farming and manufacturing city that settlers founded around 1848.[13] As of the 2020 United States Census, the population of Albany, Oregon was 56,472.[14]
Albany has a home rule charter, a council–manager government, and a full-time unelected city manager.[13] The city provides the population with access to over 30 parks and trails, a senior center, and many cultural events such as the Northwest Art & Air Festival, River Rhythms, Summer Sounds and Movies at Monteith. In addition to farming and manufacturing, the city's economy depends on retail trade, health care, and social assistance. In recent years the city has worked to revive the downtown shopping area, with help from the Central Albany Revitalization Area.[15][16]
