About Albany, Vermont 
Orleans County
*Area, Population and Density rankings above refer to Albany's relative position among Vermont's 255 civic entities (9 cities, 242 towns, 4 gores and grants). Complete rankings are here.
Originally Lutterloh (after Colonel Henry Emannuel Lutterloh, Washington's Deputy Quartermaster General of the Continental Army, the first named grantee), renamed Albany in 1815, though there is no clear trail as to the choice of name. Some say there is a connection to Ira Allen, while others maintain it has to do with New York having once proclaimed the area west of the Green Mountains to be part of Albany County, and the word thus had a familiar ring. One has to wonder if proponents of that theory have noticed that Albany is on the east side of the Mountains. It narrowly missed being named Adams, after our second President.
