The original inhabitants of this part of the fertile Willamette Valley were the Kalapuya, a Native American tribe, and they called this area Tekenah, a word describing the deep pool where the Calapooia River meets the Willamette River. Brothers Walter and Thomas Monteith settled in the area in 1847 after traveling by ox team over the Oregon Trail from their native state of New York, and they named the city after their hometown. Incorporated in 1864, the city is the county seat of Linn County. The arrival of the first train in 1871 was celebrated as the greatest event in Albany's history. Albany businessmen raised $50,000 to ensure that the rails would be built through the city instead of bypassing it a few miles eastward. As stagecoaches and steamboats gave way to the railroad, trains brought the farmers' markets closer to the city. The world's longest wooden railroad drawbridge was built in 1888 for the Albany-Corvallis run, and by 1910, 28 passenger trains departed daily from Albany going in five different directions.History buffs in particular will enjoy exploring Albany, as the city is home to more than 700 historic buildings!
