Albert Town

 Upload a photo
A small market town on the south east of the Cockpit Country is at about 600m above sea level and its climate is relatively humid and cool. Famous for its annual Yam Festival, it is at the centre of an area which is struggling to maintain an existence as its agriculture-based economy declines. Albert Town was carved out of the Freemans Hall property and was originally called "Santa Hill" after the large number of Santa Maria growing in the area; in the mid nineteenth century the town worthies decided to rename the town after Prince Albert, Consort of Queen Victoria. Population: 3.389 (1991 census).
