West Albury is a suburb of the city of Albury, New South Wales, located west of the Albury Central Business District. At the , West Albury had a population of 4,115. West Albury covers the slopes of Nail Can Hill on the Murray River floodplain, and is bordered by Central Albury to the east, Splitters Creek to the west, Glenroy to the north, and the Murray River and Victoria to the south. West Albury is mostly residential, and features include the Albury Wodonga Private Hospital, Padman Park and Albury West Public School. == History == Like the rest of Albury, the area is part of traditional Wiradjuri country, and was known as ''Bungambrawatha''. The first European settlement was in the late 19th century in Padman Park. The small (19 house) settlement were on mining licences for the Monument Hill quarry. Padman Park was cleared, the area on the river known as McKenzies flat was grazed and several fruit orchards were grown. The houses were eventually abandoned, the last one being bulldozed in the 1970s. At the same time, most of modern West Albury was partially cleared. Well after many of the other suburbs had been established, the area slowly began to be residentialised from the east. By the 1990s Pemberton Park, a housing estate on the east side of West Albury, was begun. The Private Hospital was built in 1979, at the time well away from the rest of the suburb. Albury West Public School and also been built by then, only taking around 100 students.〔Information given in Padman Park by Parklands Albury-Wodonga.
