Trappers were the first to come to the area that is now Albion Valley in 1864. The valley was originally called Marsh Valley, and the site where the city of Albion now sits was called the Marsh Basin. Those in search of gold and silver soon followed, and the valley was being used to raise cattle by 1868. Settlers began arriving in 1871, and the Marsh Basin soon became a major junction for freight wagons.
By 1875, there were 14 families living in the valley, and a school was built in the southeast part of the valley. In 1876, Ralph Howell and his family built a house three miles to the southeast of what is now Albion. The area where the house was built is now the Mahoney Ranch. In 1880, Bascom and Robinson bought the townsite, and it was plotted for city lots. By 1885, the town had four saloons, three hotels, several stores, a skating rink, and a livery stable. Fast forward to today, and the city has a population of just 414.
