History

Albion was first settled in 1871 by Levi Reynolds, and was platted in 1883. The town was known as Guy, until 1901, when a resident insisted to change the town's name to honor Sir Francis Drake, who named the region Nova Albion (New England). Albion was officially incorporated on March 4, 1910.
