Albion – A History
Albion is a city with an interesting and vibrant history. Albion’s geography has always made it a desirable location because of its proximity to the forks of the north and south branches of the Kalamazoo River. Originally populated by Native Americans mainly from the Potawatomi tribe, European settlers began building in the area in the 1830s. Native Americans and early settlers hunted for deer and wild turkeys, fished in the river, gathered honey, and picked huckleberries and cranberries.
