ALBANY

This article appears in Volume V01, Page 491 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: AJA-ALL
ALBANY , a municipal town in the county of
Plantagenet
 , West Australia, on Princess Royal Harbour, a branch of King George
Sound
 , 352 M. by rail and 254 M. directly S.S.E. of
Perth
 . Pop. (19o1) 365o. It is the
chief
 
health
  resort of the state, and its climate is one of the finest in Australia; it has a mean annual temperature of 58.6 F., and the summer heat is never excessive. One of the features of the town is the Marine Drive, some 51 M. in circuit around the hills overlooking the harbour. Albany has several flourishing
industries
 , of which the
chief
  are brewing, coach-building, printing and tanning. In addition it has the finest harbour in West Australia. A pier extends for 1700 ft. into the sea, giving safe
accommodation
  to the large steamers which
call
  at the port. The
Great
  Southern railway has a line to the seaward end of the pier, and affords direct communication with the interior of the colony. The harbour is protected by forts and there is a garrison in the town. King George
Sound
 , of which Albany is the township, was first occupied in 1826 and a penal
settlement
  was established. No attempt was made to colonize the locality until after this
settlement
  was given up in 1831. Albany became a municipality in 1871.
