Albion (village), New York
Albion is a village in Orleans County, New York, United States. The population was 6,056 at the 2010 census. The village is centrally located in the county and is partly in both the towns of Albion and Gaines. It is the county seat of Orleans County and is about west north-west of the City of Rochester. It is part of the Rochester Metropolitan Statistical Area.
==History==
The Albion area was first settled in 1812. There were few residents until it was announced near the end of the decade that the Erie Canal would pass through. An entrepreneur named Nehemiah Ingersoll bought much of the land near the planned intersection of the canal and Oak Orchard Road, the main north-south route through the area in 1822. It was soon subdivided, and the village, then known as Newport, began to grow.
Orleans County was created two years later. State officials considered both Gaines (then more populous) and Newport as the county seat due to their central location within the new county. They chose Newport in 1826 due to its location on the canal and the West Branch of Sandy Creek, where a mill had already been established. The next year it changed its name to Albion to avoid postal confusion with New York's other Newport, in Oneida County. In 1828 it was incorporated as a village.
The William V. N. Barlow House, North Main–Bank Streets Historic District, Orleans County Courthouse Historic District, Tousley-Church House, and United States Post Office are listed on the National Register of Historic Places.
