Albert County (2016 population 29,158)^[1] is New Brunswick's third youngest county located on the Western side of the Petitcodiac River on the Chignecto Bay in the Bay of Fundy. Prior to the abolition of county government in 1967, the shire town was Hopewell Cape. The county was established in 1845 from parts of Westmorland County and Saint John County, and named after Prince Albert.

The mineral albertite was discovered a few miles away in 1849, giving rise to Albert Mines.
