Albany was first discovered by Dutch explorer Dirk Hartog in 1616 and was later settled in 1826 by Major Edmund Lockyer who named the settlement after Albany, New York. The area was used for whaling and sealing, and soon became a popular holiday destination for families from Perth. In the late 19th century, the town became an important port for the export of wool, timber, and grain.
