Albany County
Albany County was organized in 1868 from territory annexed from Laramie County in Dakota Territory. It became a county in Wyoming Territory when its government was formally organized on May 19, 1869.
Charles D. Bradley, a member of the legislature of the Dakota Territory named the county for Albany, New York, the capital of his native state. In 1875, the Wyoming Territorial legislature authorized portions of Albany County to be annexed to create Crook and Johnson counties, and in 1888 land was taken from Albany County for the creation of Converse County. Further adjustments were made to the county's boundaries in 1911 and 1955.
The 2020 census showed it as the 5th most populous county in Wyoming.
