Encyclopedic overview
Albert City is a city in Buena Vista County, Iowa, United States. The population was 677 at the 2020 census.
The town was established in 1890 on property owned by George Anderson, and was initially named Manthorp, after a town in Sweden. However, the post office department was concerned that the town's name would be confused with the nearby community of Marathon, so Manthorp was renamed for Albertina Anderson, the founder's wife. Albert City was incorporated in 1900.
